I've been making a list and checking it twice, to find the right Acroporas that I would like. I have saved several prime real estate spots in my tank for the most desired "acropora".
Last weekend I visited a local reefer and was able to view his tank. At first glance, I was like "damn" those are some amazing corals. The part that was not so great, "in my opinion" , some of the cheaper/common acropora was way more stunning than the high end ones.
JF homewrecker : Front a front view, it really didn't look that great. To me, it seems like an average looking green acro. When I mentioned that, I was asked to look at it from a top view through a looking glass. I was pretty surprised how the top view can look so different. It really does have amazing views.
OP Genesis: So this a $600/frag. Didn't matter which view I looked at this frag it looked like a common acropora.
Overall the guy had an amazing tank. Never seen so much polyp extension throughout. The acropora which i thought was the nicest was an AquaSD rainbow Mili.
I guess I'm kinda weary ordering acropora's online, if I don't know what they would look like in my tank. Especially when paying a hefty price for a frag.
What are the best looking acropora's you have seen in real life from the front view? I don't think I'll be looking from the top very often.
