I have been slowly accumulating a few different SPS corals lately. Currently, I have a Birdsnest, Garf Bonsai, Bubble gum digi, Paletta tricolor, TSA Pineapple Juice, Pink Floyd, Purple Stylophora and few encrusting SPS. I was considering getting a box from battle corals, but wasn’t sure what types are really difficult or unlikely to keep their color.
So far all my current pieces are doing well, but the Pink Floyd remains solid green, and mostly just encrusting over the last 6 months. As far as I’m aware that is probably my most difficult piece that I have. I‘m not necessarily looking to get any of the top of the line pieces since I don’t really know how well they will do in my tank. I’m also not looking to spend a bunch on another “green” coral. So are there any Classics out there that I should consider that typically keep their color?
For lights I’m running 4x54 T5 with 2 AI LED fixtures
nitrate runs between 5-10
phos .1
alk 10
Cal 415
ph 8.15
mg 1245
