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

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

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....

and wait for all this to blow over simon pegg GIF

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