I'm new to the his forum but not the hobby. I like this forum because of all the sponsors and tons of peeps . With all that said my first post is asking the question. What are the worst acros to keep because their to deadly. Anything they touch is a goner. I've moved to an all sps tank recently and just want to know what to steer clear of . Thanx for all your posts.
 
Hydros are deadly if you consider them a stick.... Most acros are really the same from what I seen if a tip
Touches one wins the battle lol... Out of pure amazement I noticed my deepwater carolina fell the other day into the acan garden I thought for sure all the tips would be gone but actually it won and took a bunch of acans out.... I was shocked...
 
Acros all differ, but nasutas seem to pack a punch and even take out millies, my bonsi even killed off a little section of my rouge milli.
Now for sps, my sunset monti and rainbow monti, grow over and kill anythiing, keep them off your rockwork, and put them on a rock on your sandbed, they dont need a lot of light either.
 
Not an Acropora, but an SPS..... Hydnophora. Hydnophora will EAT anything it touches, or can reach with it's LONG sweepers. I've known Hydnophora to eat Acans.

True statement! Hydno's will torch just about anything it touches...I dont keep them anymore and some may debate it on being a true SPS...I had one base out and barely touch the base os a horrida I had and smoked it in 24hrs!
 
My Red Planet and Garf Bonsai colonies encrusted the base of the rocks they were on and they mow any frag or other acro in their path. The Garf is beautiful, but pretty invasive in my experience.
