[MarvinsReef]

True pinks. Not bleached out reds. But I think that's true for allot of corals

 

[dougers31]

Most common, maybe green or brown. Least common, black...jk, I would have to say pink as well.

 

[MarvinsReef]

where does yellow or yellow'ish rank? aka Pink lemonade color

 

[Emoney]

I wouldhave to say Green also is very common, But bright Yellows, and Hot pinks are kinda rare..I have a Hot pink Milli that everyone local say's " i need that"..lol..

 

[MarvinsReef]

is this considered red, faded red, or pink? I know for sure it's not hot pink. :hammer: I lost the colony of this a while back. I'm glad a piece of it broke off.

I haven't seen too many bright orange sticks. The only thing I can think of is the sunset monti and maybe the sunset millie.

 

[sportzfish]

Purple and green are commonplace.

hmmmm... what's unique about the Purple Monster then? is it just the most purple SPS? growth pattern?

hmmm... that would be a cool acro. :bigsmile:

 

[therman]

In acros, bright yellow (not pale green) is almost nonexistent. Pink lemonade and some millepora come close. Orange is also very rare, but maybe a few milles have it. Montipora have a lot of the colors that Acropora are missing, and vice versa.

I disagree with bright pinks, there are a lot of hot pink milleporas and some tables out there. I guess outside of Montis, Stylos, Seriatopora, A. millepora, and Pocciliopora pink is rare ;P

Deep red is pretty rare.

the forest fire digi is orange =) i have a few of them in my tank. is it rare...? cuz someone gave it to me...

 

[akabryanhall]

As far as acros go, Orange would have to be the rarest. Montis of course come in every color in the rainbow. Green is the most abundant for sure!

well the forest fire digi is not bright orange nor is it a acro

 

[MarvinsReef]

so, really to have diversity in colors, you have to mix and match different kinds of SPS. not just acros or montis, etc....

here's my plan of attack:

for orange, red, & pink -- will use montis, millies, & birdsnest
for blue, purple, & green -- will use acros
for yellow -- Pink lemonade only?

does that pretty much cover most of the colors? :wink:

 

[Hi Salenity]

Acro's with red polips are hard to find and brown Acro's are hard to sell! LOL

pic of my Watermellon milli...No photoshop..just cropped..looks much nicer in person

 

[MarvinsReef]

that's another question I had. is there a lot of Rainbow type SPS besides the Rainbow monti that has multiple color (3-5) on them?

If there is someone is holding back. An SPS with more than 2 colors are hard to find IMO.....How about a gray SPS! A light gray one with bright blue tips would look cool!!
