"Must have" acros?

[Charlie’s Frags]

Those are some nice frags! It will be interesting to see what they look like when they are all tenuis colonies in the same tank.

I hope so. They’re taking forever.

A deep blue gomezi...
Always have a hard time keeping it, so i like the challenge

Absolute most underrated acro. Probably one of my favorites too.

List I came up with a few days ago based on mentions in a thread I came across here on R2R. Definitely several others that could be in the mix new and old. Lots of pieces were left off my list as they had been mentioned once or twice and some pieces didn’t get all their tallies cause the top became pretty apparent.
Strawberry Shortcake
ORA Red Planet
Oregon Tort - own
CITR Red Dragon
ORA Pearlberry
ORA Hawkins Echinata
Icefire Echinata
Tyree Pink Lemonade
Garf Bonsai
TIE- Walt Disney(own) & SC Orange Passion(really want!)

Must haves:

Tyree Pink Lemonade--- Great indicator of tank health in my opinion
Pearlberry as bubba mentioned
WWC Mojo Man--- Absolutely love this one
Vivids Confetti---Expensive but by far one of the best color combinations out there
WWC Sourpunch
WWC Pyromaniac - Very underrated in my opinion
Tyree Pinky the Bear - Gorgeous stick - underrated

I forgot Pink cadillac. It's a contender.

Also fox flame is a nice one. I think I might lose my frag due to an Alk spike. It's STNing.

Happy to see Red Planet made the lists a few times, one of the best imo
I'll add Fox Flame, ASD Rainbow Milli, and any smooth skin is a "must have" for me.

I had many battles with stn when I was carbon dosing and using gfo. Haven’t had a single issue since stopping 7 months ago.

 

[MrObscura]

Yea, I'm not catbon dosing or running gfo. It's because I tried Tropic Marin all for reef and I just couldn't get it dialed in, Alk jumped all over.

Good to know I’m not the only person dropping insane money on acros. What’s rainbow splice again? Is it part rrc Elektra and OP?

It's actually a Millie that has "grafted" green fluorescent proteins that basically makes it look like a true graft between different color morphs. There's an article on Reefbuilders here:

Here's the pic which is obviously greased up as all RRC pics are, but I've seen the non-greased pics from the vendor that I'm getting it from and it is awesome.

Oh yeah. I assume you’re talking about Dan at TCK. His stuff is awesome. I got my elektra, rrc op, rrc pink matrix, TCK burning bush encruster and a couple others from him. You won’t be disappointed.
