What's a good plating acro?

[Singlefin]

I'm trying to find a nice plating acro. If that's even the right name for them. Ive seen some nice colonies in members tanks, but now that I'm trying to look for one, I can't find any. Only frags. One with good color and growth. Thanks.

Tabling Acros? ORA Red Planet would be at the top of my list. I'm a fan of Efflos also. The $500 efflo would be nice.

Red Planet is one of the best!

Thanks. Does the efflo still cost $500. Haha. Don't really see it for sale anywhere.

Any Acropora Hyacinthus species, Acropora Efflos, Acropora Soliteryensis and Acropora Granulosa's look nice as they branch out as tables.

Cool. Thanks. Ill check them out.

Nope! It's cheaper now! Lol

I don't see it for sale often but everynowandthen I see frags for sale from hobbyist. I don't see many vendors with it but I'm sure someone out there has a frag.

I just received a frag of reef raft bonsai efflo, can't wait to see it grow out! Was looking for a cool plating acro also, when I came across this piece, I had to have it!

+1 on the Red Planet. Easy to come by and an awesome tabler.

I thought it got the name $500 dollar Efflo because it was in a QT with $500 worth of other corals and that was the only one that made it. Making it worth $500 to the original owner. It ended up becoming a nice color variant so the name stuck.
