Non-tabling acros

[ramseynb]

Hey Folks, I was wondering if you all had any recommendations on non-tabling acros. Of course, I'm looking for nice colors and good growth rates. I'm just trying to avoid tabling acros and plating montis because i have limited real estate.

Torts and staghorns would be two.

Stags were already on the list. The problem I have is a lot of sellers just label them like "œrainbow super ultra rare acro" so I have no idea what the growth pattern will be. Any "œnamed" ones I can look up or is there an easy way to identify them when they're just tiny frags?

Green and purple slimer or any acropora yongie are true branching acros. Tort are branching. Tenis grows is a bush type shape, not a tabling acro as does granulosa. Loripes and nasuta have a similar bush type growth pattern. Acropora millepora can also be a branching type, but some form a table shape.

Thanks! That's really helpful. I wish more sellers would list species instead of "œnames". I can see what the color looks like from a frag, but getting an idea of what growth will be is a lot more difficult.
