    Hey Guys,

    I'm looking to find some really neat, interesting acro frags or small colonies - I want to make a list and spend the next 6-12 month working on finding them. I have about 65 acro frags at the moment but most of them aren't "brand names" so to speak and while a lot of them are really cool, I'd like to concentrate my efforts on particular corals than the "buy whatever you can find" approach I've been taking. Looking for your guys thoughts on what your favorite one or ones are, perhaps where you found it. I will say, strawberry shortcake is on the top of my "to find" list as I know thats a fav for a lot of people.

    Thanks in advance!

    Stop over at Wet Thumb Frags... that will definitely give you an idea or 10.

    It really depends on what type of SPS that you like. Do you have a tendency to lean toward a certain type... monti, acro (tabling, or bush), millie, other.

    My personal favorite is the Reptoid. Very very unusual coloring.

    Only looking for acros, tabling, formosa, etc.

    Seen some interesting ones on cherry corals, harrys, battlecorals, etc. - just interested on what people's personal favorites on here would be

    Those three are really nice, do they have names?

    I have two millies, one is really starting to show some neat colors - will try to post a photo later today

    Also, I checked out wet thumb frags, massive selection (not cheap!) but really neat stuff on there

    With the acros that have "brand names" do these get diluted over time? For example, is a Tyree Purple monster always a tyree purple monster, or are there variations and knock offs?
