What is your "Top 10" list of Acros?

Idk. Mayb it’s me but I see nothing about snow when I look at this coral.

The WWC Ice Dragon is pretty nice!

Great list in my opinion! I would add Milka Stylo and Pearlberry as well. Could have a tank with ONLY those corals and I'd be happy.

I had a Milka Stylo, but they’re usually the first to go if you have a crash and I had a big one about two months ago due to houseguests using aerosols too close to my tank for a week.
But, I just looked up ORA Pearlberry, and it looks pretty awesome.
I think I’ll try again with a new grad of Milka Stylo once things settle.

Maybe he meant Snow Dragon?

Yes, I meant snow dragon. I just flew back from Orlando and got a tour of WWC’s farm where I saw it for the first time. I just got the name wrong. Sorry.

Some nice suggestions in here so far!

While I'm not a big fan of acropora. I do love the miyagi tort. I hardly have a top 2.

Bro, what?!?!

I'm just starting to warm up to the SPS thing. I've been doing FOWLR and LPS/softies for decades, but lately I'm being drawn more and more to SPS. Well, not all SPS, but Acros specifically.

I've noticed that there are some staple type Acros that everyone seems to have, but in my searching I stumbled across some real stunners. So I am wondering... If you could pick 10, ANY 10 Acros, what would they be? It doesn't have to be based on price (but can be), or anything like that. I've noticed that some of the "cheap ones" are pretty dang cool too. Just any 10.

Do you base your choices on color? Ease of care? Do you just want whatever the new hotness is?

So I figured this post was due for an update. I've picked up a small collection of sticks that are currently cooking in a friend's frag tank until my new SPS tank is seasoned.

Some I chased the name, others I just liked the way they look. So far, I have acquired...

Your list looks a lot like mine!

I added RR Olympus and BC Cream City Pinky in a trade deal this weekend. Now I need to add Vivid Insanity and Bleeding Avengers, then cool it... for a while.
