Blue acros

[sjfishguy]

So I have been keeping SPS for almost 20 years and since the heavy blue LEDs came into fashion, there are a lot less blue acros out there. I run a 14k, balanced look and am looking for some blue acros that are out there today.

What I currently have:
Oregon tort
Cali tort
Miyagi tort
Snipers blue
BC love sky
Various blue/blue tipped Tenuis

What I have been trying to find:
Palmer’s blue milli (I had a colony bigger than my hand like 15 years ago)
Any solid blue milli (these used to be pretty common)

Any suggestions on things out there that I am missing? Thanks!

Only that palmers blue mili might be my favorite coral. It's gorgeous in person

Pengs heart of the ocean (HOTO) is definitely something you should look for if you’re collecting blue acropora. Blue as blue can blue

Oregon Tort is truly a classic

Purple corals are also something you may want to look into as well

Here's a few that are my favorite blues---

Navy Blue Tort--

ARC Fireworks is also a top choice - mine has a very blue look.

ari's avalanche is the real mvp.

Blue it the bomb. Use to think Tenuis was the only real blue but there are many.

 

[exnisstech]

Acroberry is my only blue one. It's more blue in person but I have trouble capturing the blue with my phone camera.

I got this frag from Adam BC and it’s bluer than my Oregon Tort and Sniper. Believe it’s called Shockwave. Really nice one.

 

[sjfishguy]

Thanks for all the suggests. That coops hoke and pengs hoto is def something I will check out

I have bc skinny love and it only has blue growth for me, mostly turquoise base. And validas to me are purple. One of my favorites, but not really true blue.

Take a look at Tyree Superman Tenuis. Sorry I don’t have a picture, very blue though.

That random Tenuis I believe is a JF Blowtorch. I just got one very similar from a local reefer and thats what he called it.

Main colony that i bought it from is turning red. On a second note merlins staff is a really nice acro

RR Blue Flame Spath also looks decent under whiter lights.
