Suggest Some Easier Named Acropora

[sanzz18]

Other than your typical Green Slimers, basic torts, digis (I know it isn’t an acropora), garf bonsai, ORA varieties, etc., what are some named acros they you would consider easier than others?

Walt disney is a pretty hardy acro.
Mainy anything thats aquacultured will be your best bet to surviving long term in a loosely regulated tank.

My cherry bomb grew like a weed when others perished as well.

Same with rainbow sherbet.

Not sure about named because we don't really have farms over here, but some hardy ones on top of my head:
- Acropora Nana - mid-high growth rate
- Acropora Lokani - slow growth rate
- Acropora Caroliniana - mid growth rate
- Acropora Sarmentosa - mid-high growth rate
- Acropora Florida - mid-high growth rate
- Acropora Aspera - slow-mid growth rate
- Acropora Microclados - slow-mid growth rate, a bit pickier than the others, but still considered good for begginers

Walt Disney is tough as nails.

I can hardly keep Acros alive but the RR Pink Cadillac and GC Acroberry are both doing quite well for me.

PC rainbow
Tricolor Valida
Austin Gold tort.

All been really durable for me

Frag farmer red robin
Red Planet
Most staghorns

In my experience Garf Bonsai can be tricky. It's one of those acros that will do nothing for a year if it's not quite happy. But they are hardy.

I'd also second PC Rainbow. One of the best bang for your buck acros out there

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a couple very basic acros including a no-name tort. They are doing well so far after losing so many acros testers due to unstable parameters. I got that under control now just about.

I have a huge coral show in my state the first week of march that I plan on grabbing some more easier named acros so just wanted to see if I can find some easier ones.
