List and pic's of high end SPS corals

[Gary Majchrzak]

Can you post a picture of this chip acro? Does it look like a pringle / ace of spade? There is a local reefer who has an potato chip and refuses to sell it to me, I have tried to buy it many times lol

what you're describing is a relatively common Pavona spp.


here is ORA Chip's Acro

looks like an Efflo . just like the green smaller pic.

I think

ya... looks like a green efflo. So does mine but I don't think it is!

[Deepsea2005]

Well that is a nice piece as well but it's not the same one I am talking about. I am goin to have to go back to her house and take a picture of it.

Am I looking at this correctly? The fish is swimming upside down or is the granulosa colony growing upside down?

Really crafty picture lol!!!

Pearl berry should be on this list

 

[vmacisback]

Tyree setosa IMO should make the list for being one of the only orange sps

I thought it would be helpful if we could create a list of high end SPS corals, all in one place. I'm sure there are many people that want really nice corals, but don't know what to look for. Just because a retailer gives a coral a fancy name doesn't mean they're offering a "fancy" coral. We need a list of those corals that have proven to keep their color, and are worthy of the names they're given.

So, please help out and post those beautiful pic's, along with the corals name. You know you want to show off anyway. :lolspin:

E, where have you been ? It's chrisd, you know from the other forum.

I picked up a few frags not to long ago. I'll try and get a few pictures up tomorrow.

Mars the red planet ORA
Superman montipora ORA
Oregon blue tort. ORA, Although this one I'm not sure that's what it is. Looks kinda like a slimmer to me. Maybe someone on here can confirm it.

and on:


Blueberry fields forever

ORA Joe the Coral

Steve Elias stag

Red planet (on top) and Palmer's blue Millie (below)

If I have mislabeled anything, please correct--I have made the occasional error. And certainly if you have better representative photos, please share.

EC- although many here won't remember this... I think it all started with Stuber's Acropora

I bet you could do a whole thread on this history. For me I think the first name I can remember was the Green Slimer.

Of what hasn't been mentioned yet I'd add---

Paletta pink tip--this is the first acro that people point to when they see my tank.

Orange Monti Turgescens-- I would put this up against any named SPS for brightness in orange.

Lime in the sky--
