Best RED SPS

[FarmerTy]

I'm confused about people mentioning the setosa. It is the most orange colored SPS I've seen. Even the pictures supplied in this thread are orange. Its even called an orange setosa. Its ORANGE! [emoji6] I'll give you red-orange at best but it's not red.

Like others have mentioned, red planet, red dragon, frag farmers red robin stag, PC Rainbow, and this guy, RCA Baton Rouge, local fish store acro.

Red planet

PC Rainbow

Red robin (more red in real life)

RCA Baton Rouge (blood red)

Red planet in high par wins hands down for best red ever though. I did just get a red velvet frag from unique corals this week. Very similar to my RCA Baton Rouge but has orange-ish polyps. Very cool!

Red Planet, Maleficent, and Pantera Rosa all show excellent red colorations given the right conditions, that is for acros. Red Digis and branching montis get nice also!

Red planet is a personal favorite. I like it in medium strength light so it holds some of it's green. Christmas Mirabilis is another one like it that get's a really intense red and some green.
PC Superman Table is my other favorite red acro. It get's intense red polyps but also nice blue tips.

I used to live in San Marcos. RCA is a good place! Has aquadome stepped it up at all? How about AAF?

I have buggble gum digi and it pales in red compared to the red dragon, except when the atinics are on. When it's all blue light the bubble gum digi is really bright red.

The Aquadome is always the best at fish and LPS but that's it. They bring in Maris from time to time but that's about it. I haven't been to AAF in awhile but they were the best importers for rare stuff in Austin for awhile now. Their prices reflect that though and I'm always a fan of bargain hunting.

I'm wanting to add some red into the tank. What's the best bright and rich red SPS you've seen?

Physically, not yet. Picking up this exact piece from Rudy at RAP California in a couple of weeks.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

I would say Darth maul porites is the best red sps hands down. If Photobucket didn't kill me I would show you.
