Best orange passion acro?

Damian reef boi · Jun 22, 2020

I'm thinking about getting an orange passion but dont know which one looks the best cause I know there's diffrent types ;Smilie

There are only really two. The Sexy Corals one looks the best - known as SCOP. The other one is from Reef Raft and is not as good, IMO.

A lot people, including vendors, confuse the two. The RR is thicker.

Agreed. I’ve had both RRU Orange Passion and RRC Orange Passion and neither were as nice as SCOP. There’s one more, the RRA Ultimate Orange Passion, but it’s a different color pattern and far more expensive. I’m still growing mine out so I won’t be able to compare it to my SCOP for a while.

IMO, the SCOP is up there with RR Pink Caddy, Fox Flame and a few others that will still be very desirable a decade from now. It is one of the best corals to come about recently and is a staple like OBT, SSC and the like.

Where corals like Walt Disney are $50 in my area, SCOP are going up in value and are sometimes $150-200 for true 1" encrusted frags.

The WD is one of those soon to be classics as well imo. It just grows so easy and fast that everyone seems to have them. It’s not always the case with some of the others.

How hardy do you guys think the sexy corals orange passion is?

Damian reef boi · Jun 22, 2020

And I'm definitely getting a Walt Disney frag soon too

If you can keep acropora, then SCOP is an easy one to keep.

Yes I have a thriving strawberry shortcake that is encrusting

SCOP is a higher light acropora. It is not as high light as some, but is needs more than most to do really well.

I find my scop to be far more green then the rrop and the polyps being stronger orange. I also have a rr Asia op and a rr Asia ultimate op. Not really able to judge the Asia versions yet being they are just 1 in frags. More pink in coloration then the other versions

I’ve had them all and the rrc op is the best imo.

Wow beautiful

I have a SCOP and its super hardy. Got it at about 1 inch about a year ago and now its 4in with a ton of branches. Im still trying to figure out how to get it to color up better though. I cant get the Orange polyps like other people can.
