I'm looking to add about 10 new acroporafrags to the tank to start growing. I am not planning on adding 50 different frags because I want to leave room for some nice colonies to grow. I also don't have to have the latest or greatest $1000 frag so keep that in mind.

Now with that being said. If you had to pick 10 nice hardy acro frags what would you choose?

Thanks!

PS. Photos would be nice too. :)

Have you seen any pearlberry around? It seems lately its been getting hard to find. Might be different in Saudi Arabia now that I'm looking at it. lol

Also I dont recommencement a red dragon as one of the first frags to put into a tank. They are not very forgiving.

Not all of these I have at my tank, I have almost 75% of them the other are on my wish list
Also I don't recommencement a red dragon as one of the first frags to put into a tank. They are not very forgiving.

This is a Photo of matriculated acropora plana, which is my version of pearlberry

@Battlecorals, I would suggest a 10 frag grab bag, get 10 nice but somewhat bulletproof frags while the tank is settling out.

I get My first grab bag from battlecorals on Friday. So far he has been excellent to communicate with. Expect good things. BRS said some great things about his corals in their 52 week videos. Plus heard several around here say he is the only vendor they don't QT his stuff cause he is so meticulous you don't have to. Not telling you not to QT, just saying others have said that about him.

I haven't seen the homewrecker mentioned yet (yes, I know the price, but have you seen that thing!?)
I also haven't seen the purple monster named. Definitely one I want.

I was going to name the homewrecker, but it's still new and no real colony shots have been revealed currently. I have this piece but I'm still waiting for the pinks to come back. They faded during transport :(
