Hey all, what is your one sps coral that survives no matter what ( alk swings, temp swings , light malfunctions, power outages etc)... mine is this no name brown frag i got years ago.... Dean

For me birdsnest was unkillable.

LOL, I can't keep them alive! I have better luck with finickier acros than birdsnest.

Green Poci. Not only does it not die, but it spreads like the plague!

My RR Pink Floyd and RR "The Vinh" are my two most bulletproof corals. I've done stupid things which have killed off most of my corals, but those two just keep on keepin on.

Welp, I think aptasia should be on everyone’s list.[emoji850] but it’s not sps, but for me my rr Pink Floyd..

Hawking enchinata, microlados and actually WD has been crazy forgiving

 

[acropora4u]

Thanks all, pics would be a plus

 

[Hagios]

+1 on the WD as well. Even when the temp dropped down to about 68 last winter it kept its color. The rest of them lost a little to a lot of color an went dormant for a while.

Darth maul porites survived two times so far.

beautiful color on that, thanks for sharing

Darth maul porites survived two times so far.

And very deadly too ... try not to place any corals too close to it. It's sweepers would consume the other coral tissues real good.

Red monti caps, red monti digitata, mystic sunset, green slimer, setosa, stylos, and a few other no name acros.

Hawking enchinata

Lucky. In my last tank, I had a frag of that and if I looked at it wrong it'd RTN. Was one of my more favorite corals, haven't gotten another frag of it yet.

for me any monti cap is unkillable. Found one bleached white that i had lost face down in the rocks, completely came back.

Yeah not sure why it’s always been a rock solid coral for me.

I have a colony in every tank and it’s definitely one of my favorites.

Now that I've looked at it, it'll probably RTN.

I can only keep that brown unknown that is now pink and orange and red planet healthy...no other acros make it.

Pavona, particularly the pink/orange one below, it was first sps coral I added to my first reef tank, it always survives, but when its really happy the metallic quality is unreal in person, even under just T5. First photo is when I first added it, second is about a year later, its a standout that should get more attention IMO

 

[alanbetiger]

Orange Setosa has survived literally everything.

Sweepers? I have kept it right next to hundreds of coral over the years and never had a problem. It's not like an lps that gets sweepers or anything but at night it will get fuzzy. Normally corals send out filaments to consume or attack stuff which I definitely haven't seen in the 7 or so years I have propagated this coral.
