Default LF: The most EPIC showpiece tabling SPS
After my last rebuild by green birdsnest went kapoot again (like it does after every rebuild)... except this time I've decided only to keep a small frag of it and not really bother to grow it back.

So this has left a nice hole in one of my ledge rocks that is prime location and needs to be filled. My girlfriend must have noticed the mad look in my eyes when I realized all this 'cuz all she said was "uh-oh, I guess this means you're going shopping?".

HECK YEAH IT DOES, LADY!

So, I am looking for the most gorgeous, epic, so-hot-that-Jesus-himself-couldn't-microwave-a-burrito-that-hot centerpiece SPS frag to fill the spot on the edge of this ledge. I am thinking either a tabling SPS or something that will form a nice 'bush' from out the side of the rock. I am looking for crazy colours (think disco) and love things that fluoresce under my LED moonlights.

So, anyone got any suggestions or frags that could fit the bill?

Red planet all the way, the thing grows like a beast and is one of the brightest SPS in my tank!

I think a good quality Bonsai makes a great centerpiece. Grows decently fast too.

I think Red Planet is kinda over-rated, but maybe because I already have a red Acro. I also have a blue with green Candlelight Acro and a Strawberry Shortcake which I think take the cake over any Red Planet I've seen.

Default Center piece
They are right Red Planet and the various Bonsai are nice I have both but for me the seemingly rarity of a Red coulored acro wins out for me!
Although the piece of Gator Aid Millie I picked up
a little while ago may take over top spot. Bright orange with green polyps!
I wll have to wait and see if it tables as it grows!

The red planet is nice but everyone and their dog is starting to have them in their tank. I would look for something special noone else has.

I was gonna say strawberry shortcake too but it would take forever to fill up that hole...... They really do grow slow
