Red coloration

[Danh Ngo]

I’m having alot of blue gree purple sps in my tank. Looking for some red or orange coloration? Any recommendation? Some Lps will work too.
Thank you

A nice red monti cap would probably work

 

[Crabs McJones]

Look into the Strawberry Shortcake Acropora. Or the Mind Trick Montipora or the Sunset Montipora

 

[Anirban]

My take will be red setosa and some favias possibly.

PC Rainbow for upward growth form
PC Superman for tabling

Red Planet or Tierra del Fuego is a nice red most of the time. Red Dragon is a popular smooth skin. Any number of red/pink/orange millies would also work.

Agree with Red Planet and Red Dragon. Red, Forest Fire, and Bubble Gum Digis are all very bright red/orange. Red monti cap is bright also. If you're looking for more high end/expensive acros. The Maleficent, Hellfire, Diablo, Kandari, and I'm sure there's more are all very nice red acros. Not sure what LPS are red, but theres some bright orange/red shrooms and zoas that are nice also.

Can’t go wrong with a red planet, and they grow like a weed.

Forrest fire digi and bubblegum digi would be 2 more.

Asd Rainbow Millie is another good one if you have the ability to bring the red out

Red planet or a setosa

Pick up a WWC Wow acro. Great red.

Red Planet and Red Dragon, as mentioned, are great. Atlantis Christmas Mirabilis is a great acropora with red/green contrast that really pops. The Wet Thumbs version of Tierra del Fuego is really red, but you need lots of light.

There are a lot of red and orange chalices.

Setosa, love the random weird growth patterns you can get from them and a PC rainbow is a nice one.

Digita, montipora, sponge, pipe organ, red goniopora and Trachy are some of the affordable and easy to care for Red species that come to mind

Like others have said, Setosa, Red Planet (kept lower in the tank), encrusting montiporas, ect.

If you have some funds, snag a piece of Flaming Phoenix montipora......it's amazing and has that red/orange color to it that will steal the spotlight!

 

[DesertReefT4r]

Orange montipora capricornis, Superman montipora, Red Planet.

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Darth maul porites is the most red coral you will find.

 

[Leadfooted]

Many versions of Red Bowerbanks too.

 

[Dburr1014]

Acans come in all sorts of color

 

[Big E]

Orange monti turgescens--not invasive as other encrusting montis and not a big space eater like a setosa.or monti caps.

Red Planet and Darth Maul Porites are the nicest deep red I've seen in person.

... Red Planet (kept lower in the tank) ...

Does too much light make them go green per chance?
