Top 25 SPS Corals

[C-21 USAF]

I've been reefing for about 3 years and have a very nice 150 gallon sps dominated tank, but over this time I've realized there are good looking SPS, great looking SPS, and then there are INSANE, EYE-POPPING :eek2: SPS!

For my next build and for everone else's information, let' compile a list of the top 25 SPS corals.

Is this subjective? Absolutely, so don't hesitate to submit your vote. I'm talking about the upper echelon of SPS...Blue Matrix, Purple Monster and so forth. Maybe we'll need more than 25?:worried:

Please reply with your vote :beer:

you need more than 25..Plenty more and I didn't even get into the monti's except sotosa. There are also some very common one's that have great colors like green slimer, chips, etc. let's keep the list going!

 

[Dustin1300]

I only have 4 of those top 25...Looks like I need to go shopping?

 

[dmorel]

Agree with all on RP and PB.
mark728's Blue Tip efflo is one that makes me feel bad about not owning a piece of.
Purple rim cap, sure its common but it's a beautiful piece and I consider it a staple.
You know, pretty much everything from this thread or this one.
