SPS recomendations

[Rawsreef]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some recommendations on some nice colored sticks that won't break the bank. This is still a relatively new tank, so I'm still figuring things out. I've lost probably about 4-5 of the 20 acros I've put in this tank. So I definitely don't want to put in anything too sensitive.

Basically Im looking for nice, hardy SPS. What comes to your mind?

I have bubble gum digi, green digi, princess peach, Bill Murray, Oregon tort, and a couple wild pieces that are doing surprisingly well.

Do you have any montis in your tank? Those are relatively easy to keep

Hey, yes I do have a couple, red monti cap, purple monti cap, and beach bum, all are growing well.

WWC Yellow tips is my favorite easy acro

Any stag would work well if you like their structure.
Take your pick on color.
My old 120 had a few.

Second wwc yellow tip. PC rainbow. Garf bonsai.

Montipora Setosa, Rainbow Birdsnest and German blue digi are nice.

Digitata is one of my favorites because of how forgiving they are, their cool growth forms and the awesome colors you can find them in. They're a winner for sure.

I have a bubble gum coming tomorrow. And a red/green grafted cap which I'm pretty excited about.

3rd these. PC rainbow is a great coral for the money. Can get very red in high light.

If you were closer I have alot of bubblegum,red,green,an purple caps,vanilla spy and others I'd give you frags of. Plus a unknown tabling acro that grows really well.

I love the teals. The growth-form of the one on the left is the kind I like most. I love the way they fill vertical space.

Miyagi tort and garf bonsai have been some of my hardiest.

The teal one is a Surf & Turf, old school. I have one in my current one year old IM 170.
Forest fire digi's are nice too.

Yeah, that's definitely a nice one.

Anacropora are extremely hardy and fast growing.

That's a pretty one.

In addition to above, my go-to would be a Green Slimer. I love its fast growth, majestic growth pattern, and glows under actinics! Every tank should have one...

The stag in the front is a piece I got from the old 120 system and is on the left.
This is a pic in the 170.
The coral in the center is an unknown wild piece that's looking purplish also.
Tanks 1 year.
