Hello Fellow Stickheads!

I would like to make a comprehensive list of all the OG and long term aquacultured SPS colonies in the hobby. I have only been here for a few years but I know you have been growing these for years!

I just need a name and any details from your experience growing them. Maybe a reference of the year you had them, source (lineage), and any special requirments for success.

I am starting a stick tank soon and really want success with some of the OG sticks everyone has grown and had consistent success. The ones that are resilient and used to tank life. And those thay grow like weeds! Good color is always a bonus too.

Pretty much anything you see on the battle corals site has been around years and classics! Adam does have newer stuff but it’s all hardy as it’s been captive for years! I love the old skool stuff myself and own tons of them because I don’t have to worry about it!
 
For a successful stick tank, some of the most resilient and fast-growing SPS colonies include the Purple/Blue Tenuis, which thrives in stable water conditions and grows quickly with vibrant color. The ORA Red Planet is another excellent choice, known for its hardy nature and striking red hues. Green Slimer Acropora is adaptable and grows rapidly, making it a popular choice for those looking for success. The BC Superman Mini is easy to care for and offers beautiful coloration, while Aussie Acropora species are generally resilient and colorful. These varieties provide a great foundation for a thriving stick tank, with consistent growth and stunning color.
Thank you for taking the time to give a thoughtful answer. I do appreciate the links but this is the kind of response i was looking for. Ill have to look into getting some of those you mentioned. Green slimer has done absolutely wonderful in my tank and the green color is unmatched. Such a vibrant coral.
