What are your must-have SPS?

[Fretfreak13]

Just curious, and I'm sure there are more threads like this, but my forum searching didn't do much for me.

I'm dipping my feet into my first sps tank (and zeovit!) and I was just curious as to what are on your sps bucket list? I'm a newb, so of course I love millepora, but I'm also lovin' the ORA red planet and pearl berry.

What else haven't I heard of that I can look up and add to my list?

Tons of stuff...Valida, Bali Slimer, Miami Orchid, Tenuis, Scripps, Torts... the list is endless, then you can get into all of the show named stuff from different ppl.

I guess what I'm looking for are the universally known "brand names" that sellers attach to certain color morphs, like how you said "Miami Orchid" (veryp pretty! Added!). So I have something to google.

Another on my list is that purple rimmed green monti cap!

i really like the bottlebrush acros like echinata also the pink lemonade and strawberry lemonade

Here's a few 'brand name' corals:
Pink Lemonade
Cali Tort
Oregon Tort
Blue Voodoo
Purple Plasma
GARF Bonsai
Sunset Millepora
Bubblegum Millepora
Superman Digitata
Forest Fire Digitata

There's tons more! You could make a monster just from the different Montipora's!

Thanks guys! Those are amazing. =) The only thing I can't seem to get myself into are the encrusting montis. Honestly, I don't like chalices much either and I know thats an LPS, but most people who keep sps tanks also keep chalice. lol

All of those "name brand" ones are stunning for sure. I have had great luck with finding fellow reefers who are willing to frag from their tanks. Saves a ton of money that way. Plus you get to see what the colony looks like.

Not sure that's true but honestly, I pay that. Can you imagine an 8 inch colony of that thing.

Reef rafts pricing is so dumb

So nice there are some more pics of it that look straight out of an iphone on another site. Colours seem the real deal. Only thing is the best part of the coral is the polyp colour when retracted. Who knows what it will look like with PE..and Keeping Polyp colour can be much harder then keeping skin colour.
