Depending who you speak with, this coral's pronunciation varies, but the definition is always the same: Acropora sp. - {a-cro-POH-rah; alternate: a-CROP-o-rah} - a species of calcium-based coral that causes frustration and loss of expendable income but brings joy and exuberance to the more detail-oriented caregivers.

I'd love to hear your feedback. This hobby has some amazing SPS keepers and their pictures speak volumes about their skill.
 
Awesome Marc thanks for sharing!
 
Excellent! My favorite : "Another definition for the acronym SPS is "stability promotes success," as SPS definitely thrive under stable conditions." I'll be quoting you on that one...:bigsmile:
 
and this whole time I've been pronouncing it "Ack--Row--Poor--Ah"
