Lookup "Rainbows in Spain" aka a "Spainbow". Very colorful for me and was tough as nails. I thought I bleached it out when I moved it; I thought I killed it and then it colored up. I crashed my tank and this one was the only survivor. It also looks amazing once it colors up. Sorry, I have no pictures. Checkout battlecoral's website.

As others mentioned , you can get all the amazing classics mentioned here or you can ask Adam@Battlecorals for a baggie of your budget and be done with it ..
They are bullet proof !!!

seriously? when you go to a restaurant, do you just give them your money and ask them to bring you whatever you can afford?

Good one ☝️.. shows you never had the opportunity to order from Adam . If you did , you would know what's in a baggie .. Anyways it's perspective and different ways of reed keeping .if you are uncertain what to get , you can trust Adam and tell him some preferences and let him decide for you .

Regards,
Abhishek

I'm sure his stuff is wonderful, but the question wasn't "what vendor should I use", it was "If you had to pick 10 nice hardy acro frags what would you choose?"

Like this Garf Bonzai in my tank. My wife picked it out. Its one of my favorites.

All those on the list plus Orange Passion...a fast grower and very forgiving coral...now getting the nice orange to it...that's another story...

No love for Icefire? It would definitely be top 10 form me! I've purchased a good number of acros from Battlecorals, all that are great but Icefire is tough to beat when it's colored up nicely.

@Battlecorals, I would suggest a 10 frag grab bag, get 10 nice but somewhat bulletproof frags while the tank is settling out.
Off topic. Where do you contact Battlecorals for the frag pack? Also do they just send 10 random corals from their website?

Just shoot Adam an email and he will get back to you quick. Go to battlecorals.com. Very tough to just get a few!

Completely agree here, but then again I am biased towards echinata's and turaki's. I cannot have a tank without an Icefire and Hawkins, Pearlberry as well but that is neither of the fore mentioned species. All of mine are still 1 inch frags so not worth posting pics :)

I would go with staghorns and mili/spathulata. Bottom tank can do red dragon or enchineta. Cheap and hardy corals. Good size colony will make your tank look like a real reef

You have options. You can order off the site if you have particular pieces you want. The other option is to hit Adam up in his grab bag thread or on his site and give him a budget number and some preferences then let him pick for you. IME you can't go wrong with option 2

More like a pinkwrecker than anything currently. Frag accidentally dropped into a meat coral and has a way to go.
