SPS - Eye Candy

Advice to a newer SPS reefer: don't concern yourself with the names. Too many people are paying hundreds of dollars to corals with cool names, ie RR. Trust me, a lot of these wild corals with cool names and photoshopped pics don't look very nice in a lot of people's tanks.

not to go after the names but to know what to look for :)
thanks nino

Regarding names I would concern myself with the real names and not the "made up designer" names.
For example - the above coral names in order of appearance top to bottom are:
Montipora capitata
Acropora carduus
Acropora millepora
Acropora granulosa

Have had this in the tank for about 5 months. Got it off the bottom of someone elses tank where it was dark green and dying. Now a yellow gold color with pink tips and white polyps. Sad that my tank is coming down and this will have to go to someone else :(

Moving. Will have to tear the tank down for about 8 months. Getting some prices to get something bigger in the new house though :)
