What are your favorite sps of all time? What are the most colorful sps you have seen? I'm new to sps, and want to see some of the best of the best. Extra credit, for pictures, and video.
 
One of my all time favorites in GARF Bonsai. A local guy around me has a great acro called Orange crush that I was lucky enough to get a frag of at the last swap. I also have a frag of "Epic Chaos" from a local frag seller that is my favorite in my tank. Will try and find a pic.....

Orange Crush

Ahhh I found the pic. This frag is the best grower I have. The polyps are a deep red while the body is teal green.

Those are awesome! Orange crush is my favorite, of the 2, but the second one is pretty cool, as well. So far, my favorite, is the strawberry shortcake. Of course, that's the whole point of this thread, to show how cool, and colorful some of the sps can be. My favorite sps are one's with more then 2 colors, so far. Haven't seen a whole lot of those, though, and I don't know what they were called. Anyone know of any tri-colored sps? Pics?

Yes the Strawberry Shortcake is awesome. I lost a frag of that a week ago. Never looked right from the day it shipped to my house.

There are some multicolored acros out there. Search for "Joes Infamous Rainbow". Totally amazing acro that some people pay like 200$ an inch. Also search for Sonny's Pro Corals "Rainbow Acro" that is another multicolored acro.
 
Here is one that sold on Ebay a few months back that went for like 150$. I tried to bid but that was too much for my blood.

Sorry but that picture looks enhanced. When ever I see pics of frags like that I always want to see and know more about the mother colony. Show me a mother colony that has been in captivity for some time with that coloration and than I will spend the big bucks on it.

That's A. samoensis. I think I spelled that right. I got one MAX a couple months back. The red polyps have faded some though. Great thread
 
I couldn't find the joes infamous rainbow, but the other was selling on ebay for, about $20+shipping. The red planet looks pretty good, too. Do you guys get lots of polyp extension with those? Sorry, to hear about losing that frag. Yea, if it didn't ship well, there's not much you can do. I'm not spending $200 for a 1" frag of anything. I'd rather let someone else do that, and trade them a bunch of frags, for a frag, after it has grown out, but I'm cheap like that. :)
 
always my favorite will be strawberry shortcake, the first pic is of my ssc, garf bonsi, and poker star monti, as far as good color you cant beat my rainbow monti which is the third pic or the pinklimonade milli which is the second pic

Care to show what that coral looks like in your tank? It looks too good to be true, but then again, it might just be a very colourful coral. Would like to see a photo of it in your tank. Thanks.
