    I am ordering 4 new Corals, I got 2 down packed, I need 2 more out of four that I can't make up my mind on, so I will seek help here.

    Like the 2 highest recommended will be the 2 I order, so here are the 4 candidates.
    1) Blastomussa Wellsi
    2) Pink Eye Moonstone Coral
    3) Red Mushroom Coral
    4) Caulastrea Furcata

    In that case, my vote goes for the Blasto and Moonstone. :)

    That tort, if true tort, is a slowwwwww grower. They are amazing but very slow growing. I would do a blasto and pink moonstone

    This was pretty much what it had to say about him. The Acropora tortuosa is a small polyp stony (SPS) coral. This coral is a vibrant blue/purple colored Acropora with strong branching growth form. Other than that just the norm, requirements and ETC.

    My Red Cap has been doing awesome, that's why I decided on this move. Is there a big noticeable difference in the color variation between the Red and Orange caps?
