I am looking for a somewhat comprehensive list of tabling acropora with pictures. Does anyone know of an existing resource?
I wish there was just a resource to just tell what species each acro is. Are you looking for more of a species list or trade names?

Trade names would be fine. The only ones that I know of are Red Planet and $500 Efflo. I am getting in to SPS and really like the look of the tabling acros.

Hyacinthus, Red Planet is a good example. Sarmentosa is another easier tabling acropora.

Green Planet, Fire Engine, Starfire, Master Yoda, Bill Murray, Tesla, Merlin's Staff, EverJune are a few that come to mind.

A lot of acros will table if you mount them off of a ledge.

No name red and white table from lfs. Possibly red planet, or red caddy?

The Efflos are new to the tank and still settling in so color is off

This is true as well and I’ve seen @Reefer Matt talk about this. Mounting a frag on the edge of a rock or frag plug can cause them to table out

Do captive corals not have the same growth pattern as wild coral? In the video it looks like most of them table, where in aquariums they grow up toward the light.

Thank you for the pictures, Efflos look awesome when they grow out.

Efflo’s are hard to beat, take a while to get going but once they do they tend to explode. Here is our Tyree 500 dollar efflo close up, it’s about 10” currently.

Also another, not an efflo but table pattern.
