What are your Favorite Acros?

[MonsoonMan&RainChild]

Calling all you stick heads!

What are your favorite Acropora? Best of the best, could be based on color, growth rate, growth habit, etc. #1, top 3, top 10?

Feel free to answer the question however you see fit and provide some context.

I’m putting together a hit list and don’t want to get sucked into the internet hype unless the coral really is outstanding.

Thanks!

I think one of my favorites for color is SC orange passion. And just a personal fav is my Bill Murrey. Was my best grower when i really got into SPS

I love my Vivid Confetti! Not the best shot, but it's encrusting nicely, has good color and has grown well.

My Jake Adams Immortal Tort always catches my eye as well.

ORA Pearlberry is up there

The Tenuis craze brought in a lot but even from them I think SC orange passion and WD are at the top!

I’m a fan of a lot of the old school classics…Oregon blue tort, Pink Lemonade, and of course, Purple Monster.
But there are so many insanely beautiful acros these days, it’s too hard to choose a favorite.
I tend to go for reds and pinks, especially Milli’s.
Bahama Mama, SOTR, Voltron, just to name a few.

somebody else's .... can't be bothered to keep them. requires way too much, dosing, number chasing, purity, no time for all that

Walt Disney lives up to the hype if you can get the colors and polyp extension

Oregon Tort is also a must if you run the tank on daylight spectrum for at least some portion of the day

lol I edited my Montis off my list since he wants Acros, but how I do love them. Especially the Forest Fire and German Blue digitata and yes that Orange Setosa!

Any pics of Angry Birds? That one is superb in my opinion.

Only looks decent under heavy actinic/blues like every other similar blue light tenuis. Only way to make them grow is every other spectrum other than the heavy blues....

My Wicked Stag is my current favorite

That is one awesome looking stag!

I just got an ORA Pearl Berry and it is an awesome looking Acro. Can't wait to see it once it takes off.
