This may not be in my aquarium or the most colorful piece but this is why I got into reef keeping in the first place. Some Acropora Cervicornis (your common Caribbean Staghorn) colonies I got to see in persons while diving at 50’ a couple hundred yards off of Grand Anse beach Grenada a couple days ago. To me this is acro eye candy.

May not be as large as those but I’d agree that these are still amazing and eye-catching corals!

That’s awesome I’d lobe to get some for my tank, I’ve dove Caribbean reefs for 25 years and that just brings back great memories
