Looking for Inexpensive, Colorful, Interesting, & Quick Growing Corals

[CanuckReefer]

Have come to appreciate that corals don’t have to be expensive to be colorful, grow fast, and have interesting shapes/textures.

Please share pics and names your non expensive corals! Looking for more ideas! Here are some of mine.

Spongodes

Toxic Green SPS, Red Serarosa, & Green Monti

Seeing lots of SPS and Zoa recommendations, I'll go to bat for Duncan. Do you have one already? In my experience great growth rate, don't break the bank, peaceful, and beautiful. Mine has gone from 6 heads to 16 in about a year....Likely time to frag it.

I will share pictures of mine once morning comes since its night here. I think I have a similar anacropora. They are relatively cheap here too since they are not as popular as acros and montis. If I were to add on, I’d say the different colour variants of Monti Digitatas, pocilloporas, stylophoras and monti caps are the among the cheapest, hardiest and fastest growing corals for me. Heck, I dont even know why GSP and Xenia cost twice or thrice the price of lower-end sps in my country.

What’s the difference (besides price) between the anacropora and an Acro?

Totally not the point of the post! Reponses like this are totally unnecessary or helpful. Exactly, why I stopped asking questions on this forum.

That’s just the MO of this guy...wisecracks about everything...dont let a bad apple stop you. Majority of people aren’t like this clown on this forum.

Acropora Yongei is a must have. It doesn't require a ton of light and, after encrust your base, it will take off and grow like crazy.
