If you could only have 1 stick, which one would it be?

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

If you could only have 1 stick, which one would you choose? What's your top acro choice? I know it's a tough question (and thankfully we're not limited to one), but it'll be cool to see what your favorites are.

If you can't narrow it to just 1, then give top 2-3.

Bali green slimer
Guttatus

There are lots of "new" ones out there that people are excited about, but without seeing firsthand what it takes to get a happy large colony I'd choose an old school one....

probably Purple Monster, Oregon Tort, or Rouge Mille.

I like this topic! My favorite color is red so I have to go with the Cornbred maleficent. This coral is very deep red!

Strawberry Shortcake Acropora

#1 - Bali Green Slimer

Bonsai acro (not sure if mine is a Garf or not). It's a very hardy, fast growing acro and the contrast of the bright fluorescent green polyps and rich dark puple skin is beautiful. It doesn't hurt that it's inexpensive.

Others I think in the running...purple stylo....super fast and hardy, very pretty. Green slimmer....stunning color, fast growth, if you can't grow this one you got problems. Orange Passion....expensive but the most impressive of all the "hot" sticks to me.

Pink lemonade

+1 on the GARF Bonsai.

Since I have not been able to figure out what has been slowly wiping out my acros since last December, I would say the cheapest one. Seriously though I would probably choose the oregon tort because I love that color.

 

[ZachR32]

Red planet!

 

[happyhourhero]

I'd go Tyree Pink Lemonade

 

[jda]

Efflo. Miles and miles of tabling efflo at different levels. I would flip a coin between the GC Ultimate or the $500.

 

[mcarroll]

Bali green slimer
Guttatus

I am going to be trying sps next in my system and really enjoy threads like this where I can see what others suggest. Pics are really appreciated also as I am a newbie to sps and I am making a list of must haves that are visually appealing to me. This is one for example I would like to have that was posted for sale by Michael43 that he called Hatteraid, I just love the colors.
