help me pic my next acro

[nano427]

Just picked up a fire polyp undata today, same as the jedi mind trick. I am seriously running out of room. Still keeping my eye out for an Oregon tort. Any other suggestions?

picked up an ora hawkins echinata. its a little browned out but hopefully recolors quick

I'm like you........ running out of tank real estate. I also have several ORA pieces and I'm looking for 1 more special coral. The one I'm looking for is the German green with blue polyps by ORA. It's very difficult to find a frag, but I keep searching.

BTW, Here's a pic of it:

I have an ORA German blue polyp acro colony. I rarely frag it because it is a slow grower. Word is ORA lost the mother colony a few years ago.

ORA did not lose the mother colony, just lost color during the move. Spoke with ORA but haven't seen this hit the market again.

I've got a wonderful soft ball sized colony but I won't frag it because it's taken 3 years to get that big. Wonderful coral though.

good new and bad. hawkins not looking so good, didn't come in looking to good so not a huge surprise. but on a good note got my grand daddy the oregon tort and its looking bluer than imagined. maybe in a few years i'll have a mini colony lol

sounds like you have a lot of blue in your tank...mix it up a bit for more contrast. Just my opinion
here are some of my fav's you don't have listed
ice fire
30k lokani
phils granulosa
purple monster
yellow tenius
upscales microlados
raspberry limaide
ora german blue polyp acro
green suhorsonai


my opinion...stay away from caps and too many encrusting monti's...they will end up taking up real estate in a small tank.

1. Purple Monster
2. Ice fire Enchinata
3. Oregon Tort

Three beautiful choices. Though not for the impatient. Along with my matrix, lime in the sky, and ORA German Blue acro, these are by far my slowest growers.

I thought I'd put together a list of what I have collected. Most of these are still small frags. I think Im done for a while, unless I find something bright red maybe a rose millie.

ora red planet
ora tri-color valida
ora pearlberry
ora chips
ora green birds nest
ora hawkins echinata
oregon tort
cali tort
yellow tort
garg bonsai
blue tip tenuis
pink lemonade
pink jade
greenish yellow stag "hi-lighter"
caroliniana
gc acroberry
gc lime in the sky
blue milli
green monster
teal table

I love all my millies. But if I had to choose, Sapphire Millie would be my personal favorite.

this is mind blowing ...me want!

 

[JCurry]

Me too! Let me know when ya have some frags

 

[nano427]

ha ha that's not my picture of the sapphire milli. But I wouldn't mind adding it to my collection. Aquariumclown posted that. Hit him up he usually has frags available
