Default Red coral

just wondering if there is any red sps or lps out there. i have never seen any really deep rich red colored corals aside from mushrooms. multi colored acans i have seen are red but with other colors mixed in. which i wouldnt mind.

I have a solid red acan which is pretty nice.

You might want to have a look at Snappy's coral of the month, A. Convexa. It is quite red.

I have also seen a few red open brains which were really nice.

I had a nice red prostrata frag but sadly it was one of my recent deaths I got mine from fragalot, not cheap but it's nice.

I agree, Red corals are few and far between. I do have some red monti cap frags that have some nice color if you are interested, not "blood red" but very nice none the less.

Two of my acans are pretty red. I've also got a scolymia that is red with a green center.

I have to second this. I have a red and blue Prostrata, a nice colony of Superman Monti and a blood red and grey Blasto, but no real deep red SPS do they exist and if so where do I line up to buy?
