pic of your favorite sps

[surfn]

lets see pics of your most favorite sps corals in your tank (okay, okay...top 3 since its hard to choose just one. )

this guy is pretty much my favorite. pink stylo with green polyps. just starting to color up real good now that its growing. still getting better with my camera, will have to post some top down shots i took of it earlier tonight...amazing.

ORA blue polyped acro

and the infamous sunset monti

there are some others waiting in the wings. but since they are frags they haven't really colored up to anything amazing yet. this includes the tyree undata, and flower petal cap.

I love the blue polyped green acro... I finally got my must haves and now need to add another .

Blueberry danae

 

[gflat65]

Odd. Once again, it counted 6 pictures when there were only four, so it wouldn't let me post...
Mike Paletta Blue (need to get some pics of some I just got that haven't done this with the color yet-normally, they are brown, green, and blue...)

Neon Green A. aculeus (horrible picture, but the green is so green-coupled with th eblue of the lighting-that tyhe camera can't get a good shot of it...)

These are some of my favorites. Can't say they are all of them. The purple bonsai, the green bonsai, and the ocean blue Stylo (all Garf corals) are some other striking pieces, not to mention the turquise stag from ORA, etc... I'll limit myself to four pics, though .

apparently, your number of images in your post includes number of smileys.

Ahhh. I wondered the first time. That makes sense, I guess.

they are identical except for corallite size, danae has smaller corallites; without skeletal examination you'd be lucky to narrow it down to 5 possibilities.

Mines a hoeksmai. Cant get a pic right now, But its my all time favorite!!!

 

[Stixbaraca]

Your ORA blue polyped acro is WOW!!

 

[twon8]

i don't really have a favorite sps, but this was my first acro, gotten as a small frag more than a year ago.

 

[gflat65]

Yeah, I've been calling it danae, but it is very similar to several others. When I checked the whelk site, it looked like mine kinda matched the danae, but the differences are so minute. They say the SM monti is a danae, but I can't see that. The corallites are either very tiny or non existent on the ones I've seen (mine is smooth and I am pretty sure it came indirectly from copps, so I am pretty certain it is the LE).

The last one is the flower petal cap. I got a monti frag pack from ZnutReefer On RC.

Heres my fav acro, oh this one is mine. Just waiting for them to ship it.
I have a darker blue one. I had these 2 color morphs originally, But lost them.
They really stand out in my tank. Almost glow.

Creetin that is a nice acro. Is it really that blue?

 

[Raptor]

Yes, I would compare it to a oregon tort. I highly suggest you get one, You wont be let down.
They grow slower than torts do. IMO I see very little growth.

 

[Raptor]

If i could get to my pics i would show you, They actually look nicer than the pic here.
Get one as big as you can get. Mostlikely they will not grow very much.
If you start off with a frag it will take a looong time before you could get a colony out of it.
