Purchased from my LFS as GREEN ACRO for 20 bucks (not bad for a one inch frag). I think it's green slimer but it doesn't quite have that stag like look. Or, could it be a monti? Thoughts?

Not really that I saw...the red planet slimed up more when I mounted them
Typically . Green slimers have far more slime compared to other acros .
apparently the smile is a protective coating from the sun during low tide . For the most part they are easy to keep given stable parameters .

Makes sense. It seems pretty happy so far. Man, people weren't kidding about acros becoming an obsession. I love lps but the acros are really becoming fascinating to me
