Showpiece SPS

[nate761]

I bought a lot of my higher end pieces from reefnbid by POTO. They are smaller frags but if you’re patient then you can get some amazing deals. BigR Walt Disney, Jason Fox Jolt, and MattV Time machine are some of my personal favorites. My absolute favorite coral is Walt Disney though.

I have done 2 battle box buys with Adam in the past 6 months and have been very happy with the quality. Did lose 2 during shipping but he always includes an extra frag to cover. You don't need expensive frags to make a nice tank. My favorite right now is a 10 dollar goldenrod frag growing like a weed.

BigR Walt Disney
SC Orange Passion
Oregon Tort

I'd add Angry Birds and Homewrecker...

For an online store, head to @Thirstysreef. Lots of the frags under $200 if you pre-order

Have you bought from thirstysreef before ? Was considering a preorder but haven't met anyone who ordered from them. His prices are almost too good to be true.

Underwater Wonders have some very nice, ultra clean pieces. You can do a pick 5 and get some really nice acros. Some I would recommend that they have is WD, SC orange passion, Pearlberry, Jason Foxflame.
I have been happy with the Jason Fox sales as well. I have shopped the majority of online vendors and these are my 2 favorite.

I have. The lowest prices are often for small frags as stated on his site, but the frags i received were very healthy and colorful. would buy again.

That’s cuz his frags are tiny.

As for a showpiece, hard to beat the Confetti Acropora. It looks just as good in white light as it does in blue. Also easy to find a good size piece for under $100.

Bonsai is the best looking colony I’ve ever grown out.

+1 on Battle Corals. His frags are actively growing under full spectrum lighting. It gets very annoying to get slow growers from overly blue spectrum grown corals that get shocked and completely stunted if you like some daylight spectrum or dare I say halide/t5 lol

 

[jackson6745]

For specific pieces, TGC red wing milli, Bahama mama milli, tranquil milli, ora pearl berry. Oregon tort. Tyree pink lemonade, joker 2.0, vivid confetti, Walt Disney, rmf dragon blood, Tyree superman tenuis, jf homewrecker, BC cricket spine to name a few

Great example of a super healthy mature colony! Look at how thick that base is!

If you were planning on picking up 3-4 frags to be a showpiece in your tank, where would you be buying them from?

Would appreciate some specific piece recs/photos in your tanks if you have them!

One would be WWC Helios. That one is stunning as it grows out.

 

[Red_Beard]

BC Strawberry Fields is a beautiful green under both blue and daylight. Waiting for the red growth tips on mine still.

(Cropped daylight pic, it wasn't the original subject...)

 

[kartrsu]

Thank you.

That one is Tyree Ultimate Blue stag. Beautiful but impossible for me to get good pics of with my phone.

I’ll have to keep my eye on that one. Looks like a green slimer but a very nice blue.

He's the best!! I've purchased my nicest sticks from him and they're seriously better than any other vendor I've gotten acros from. Wouldn't have had the chance due to their cost if not for his ebay!

Going to have to try him out eventually ! My tank is over max capacity for acros though at the moment

Adam at Battlecorals is great. Very good purchasing experience. He actually cares about what you want or what your looking for.
