Best SPS choice

[notclear]

I have a 160G tank and have kept some SPS such as red dragon, strawberry shortcake, purple dragon, red planet, cotton candy, cali tort, tri-color bonsai, and many other common species.

I have one more spot to add one more frag. Please help me to choose the best one to keep in terms of color and its value when fragging to sell in the future.

Thanks in advance.

No coral holds its value then longer its available the more people have it the cheaper it gets.

Long as it's a good grower, I count on this happening. is the coral too expensive? just wait.

You said that you have kept some those corals before tell us what you have in your tank now and that will help us figure out what we think will be best for your tank.

Can't go wrong with an oregon tort or tyree purple monster.

Purple Monster and $500 Efflo seem to at least hold their value, if not go up.

+1 for Oregon tort. Slow growers always seem to hold their value better.

I have the reverse strawberry shortcake, cali tort, red digitata, green slimer, snowman, green hairly, setosa, rainbow stylo, monti such as sunset, reverse sunset, red, and superman. Few milli like pink and blue/green.

I have some more that I don't know the names!

Also for whatever reason, I can't keep the yellow color of SPS!

Doesn't the Cali and Oregon Tort look very similar? Also I haven't seen any Oregorn Tort for sale in Canada.

Initially I thought $500 for a frag of Efflo :eek1:

ORA Hawkins Echinata. Extremely hardy and holds its color very well under a wide variety of lighting. Frags run anywhere from $50-$90 retail.

I'd say this or a Blue Matrix

I wish that becomes true soon for the RR jawdropper lol

I have never went home from a swap without selling all my Oregon tort frags. People just say what is that and how much. It's like selling drugs and it is slow growing until it get big. The big tort in back

Can you take a close up because from that picture everything looks blue.

I have seen the RR jawbreaker picture and I think it was sold for few hundreds a frag!

Thanks all for all the recommendations and keep them coming

So far I like the Blue Matrix most and as a bonus I can find it here in Canada, it is sold for $150 for a 1" frag.

Trueblackpercula sorry I lack the photo skills but here are some frags of Cali tort on left and Oregon tort on right and some other OT

What is that green coral?

 

[cFloor]

I'd grab an Oregon Tort. My favorite coral, as is true with many others for good reason
