Acros Is for the Amorous....

O.K., I had to do it! I see "Leather is for Lovers" thread, a "The Softie Revolution" and I thought, WTH, acros getting' no lovin?? It just aint right I tell ya!

 

Probably the most popular For Sale thread here on N-R is the Katpora thread, not LPS or soft corals. Everyone says, they need movement. You get an acro that's happy and is showing some nice polyp extension, there's plenty of movement! And as everyone knows, you haven't really mastered coral keeping until you have some happy acros, right?? ;)

 

Without further adieu, let's show 'em what we've got!! Let's see those wonderful and amazing colored fuzzy sticks!

And that's one they call Romanesco Broccoli from Whole Foods. Had to show it somewhere- looks so mathematically amazing!!.

ughhhh I just always feel like I'm doing the acros an injustice. They look so much prettier in person :lol:

 

Here's a few. I will try and get better ones soon.

Nope- just a purple Mille but it's a growing machine. Unfortunately an aggressive pocillopora started stinging it daily and caused it to RTN one afternoon ?

Is that stinging what's going on in the bottom right? Either way that is a beautiful coral and I am very jealous!

Thanks TFish77, No, just some serious PE on the bottom right. The Poci was on the left side and they lived next to each other for 8months without any serious issues-then it was "on" and the poci took it out in a few days

 

Here's a full tank shot of my Nuvo when it was "packed full" of sps. You can see the left side and the poci next to the Mille. Poci's are one of the most aggressive and proliferate sps I've ever kept. Most of these corals are now in my 50gal. or I traded in the colonies to my lfs

Thanks! That shot is closer to when the tank was TOTM (April 2015) it's gone through many changes and I had to start removing some of the larger colonies because everyone was fighting. I had a few RTN events also and lost a few acros. Many are now in the 50gal. I don't have a link in my sig. yet for that tank but here's a link to my thread. More acros on the way ?

I know what you mean when it comes to having to pull stuff out. It never ceases to amaze me how certain species can live together so harmoniously while some just seam to rain death and destruction upon each other.

 

Checking out your new build thread now.
