tabulate acropora

Does anyone know I good place to find tabulating acroporas or how to get an acro to grow in a tabulate pattern? I would like to find some for my 90g tank.

 

is Acropora tenuis the species that grows in tabulate patterns?

 

You can get a frag and instead of gluing it vertically, glue it horizontally. Only bad thing is it takes longer to grow depending on the coral.

 

A frag of any acropora?

 

tabulate =
1: to put into tabular form
2: to count, record, or list systematically

I think the word you are looking for is tabling.

No, most A. tenuis are not a good tabling Acropora sp. Some can, but it seems to be more uncommon with this species IME.

to name just a few:

A. hyacinthus
A. millipora
A. efflorescens
A. solitaryensis

 

Thanks Gresham!

 

Notta problem FWIW Divers Den always has some INSANE tabling corals. I drool daily

 

I would get a mille, they table, and are one of the easier to propagate. That being said an ORA Red Planet is very hardy, lower requirements on the acro light scale, and very pretty. I bet 90% of SPS tanks have one (this is a WAG, not a professional census of north american reef tanks)

 

Anyone have good pics of this tabling? Im not familiar with what you all are referring too
