What’s your preference - Torches or Acros?

[PeterC99]

Acros or Torches - which are your favorites and which ones do you have more of in your aquarium?

 

[Nate Chalk]

Both look

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Honestly I like both pretty equally

 

[Ado]

Both

Small vote count so far but Acros are leading slightly over Torches.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

I'm still of the mindset that euphyllia are outrageously priced for their fast growth. People really like the blue light with orange filter pictures... it makes them open their wallets.

So my vote is acros for sure.

I got 4 torches and over 60 acros if that says anything.

Checked out your Aquarium Showcase - absolutely spectacular!!!

No contest. Nothing beats the variety you get with acros. Torches are "all right", I guess.

Lol! Just kidding, love torches.

BUT.. look at all these amazing acros! Fine. There are a few torches in there too.

1 torch, tens of acros..
Honestly, I don’t really get all the hype around torches, or euphyllias in general.

 

[shakacuz]

both are nice, but i like that there's much more variety with SPS compared to torches. nowadays every torch i see is green, yellow, or purple lol. and have a color combination of like 1-3 whereas with SPS one can have up to 4+ colors

edit: i do have planned on getting a torch this year @ RAPNY. either that or another type of bounce mushroom.

Wowzzaa!!!

See you aren’t too far away - any chance you need to trim back a few of those puppies??? I’m happy to pay the price and make the trip!

Acro here. I can keep some of them alive and growing. Every torch I've ever added has died.

Give me your address and I will send this Torch along. Had for over 3 years and have fragged 5 times. Very hardy torch!

Mother Torch

I prefer movement of the Torches to a stick standing there doing almost nothing. Dont get me wrong the colors of acros is not challenged by torches. My current tank is euphillia dominant in the past I had 125 sps and 120 lps tanks. While everyone that came over saw the sps tank first they always said wow its like fireworks in there. Then they saw the lps and had a hard time walking away saying its so serene the swaying of everything.
They are both great but the torch movement still gets me every time.

 

[KK's Reef]

I feel like a few torches are must-haves for me, but with acros I want them all.

 

[Blopple]

Frags? Torches.

Colonies? Acros.

 

[bobnicaragua]

No torches here!

 

[exnisstech]

While I appreciate the offer I've killed enough of them. I'll try a coral or fish twice maybe 3 times if it's something I really want to keep. After that I stop.

 

[Cthulukelele]

Why are acros and torches the things being compared out of curiosity? They seem mostly unrelated
