Are there any grafted acros on the market right now? I remember seeing one a while ago but it was rather dull colors.

My two favorite frags currently right now are the ArtFire Work SPS frag from Cherry Corals and my all time favorite SPS Acro out there is the Oregon Blue Tort!

I just got a piece of copps bella acropora that's grafted. It's going to be a little while before it grows and shows us what it will look like though. His piece in the display was showing nice pink orange and green colors.
Just wait a year. Like all of the other trendy corals, they will be $50 soon. There was a guy selling WD locally for $50 and a few more have since joined in. HW will be $50 before long... it is a hardy coral with a slightly limited market. Unless you want to farm it and sell the frags, there is not need to be into HW right now.
Joes's Rainbow (Joe Knows Reefs version) is a grafted coral that has kept it's colors for years. The Joe's Rainbow 2.0 is too, I think (not sure on this one).

That started out as a 3/4" nub?? That's some amazing growth! Did it take a little while to settle in and then take off for you? Would love to see a before/after!I did not list any montis since he said Acros. If you are considering Montis, then Leng Sy is the best one, IMO (totally subjective).
Here is about four months worth of growth from a Fox Flame... started a a 3/4 to 1 inch fresh cut in about March:
I got it from a MH lit tank, it encrusted to about the size of a dime in two weeks and took off. It has been growing ever since. Fox Flame is a fast grower. This is why it is the best of the new generation corals - it needs no lighting tricks to look good and can be great in any tank, and it is hardy and grows fast.
BTW - a 3/4 to 1 inch frag will get to this size twice as fast as a 1/2 inch frag. The difference can be amazing.

Woodland Hills, Ca. So not really haha, although coming up soon my boss is gonna have us start selling sps online and shipping so who knows. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say much more cause I haven't read up on the forum rules about advertising and I'm not sure if this can be considered it. If i do start shipping sps I've had a few cheaper frags of it cut for about 2 months now.

Thanks sounds good
They should be getting large enough for people to start having frags available. Mine almost has 1" branches ready to frag, so I others cannot be too far behind. It really is a nice coral.

I definitely need some Vivid Confetti in my life ASAP. That would be my trendy pick. If we're talking something more traditional and underrated, I've always been a huge fan of the ORA Red Planet, but only when it's grown in medium light and maintains the greenish hue. Oregon Tort is always a winner too.
