It's hard to find a nice efflo though......been trying for years. Like I said I got two frags going and both are blue tips but brown body. Even the $500 efflo only rarely goes all blue/purple....usually they are green body and purple/blue tips. If you can find one like that though they are really nice.

Either that or they are all green or green and brown...yuck. Growth pattern is still neat though.

I agree with ya there. I actually have two bonsai's: one frag, one big colony. The frag has wicked green polyps but it more purple branches with a brown base. I have it in a REALLY high light area now, so hopefully it'll like this area more. The colony is actually SeahorseFanatics old monster of a colony that he gave to me when he started to move away from SPS. It really didn't like the move and turned brown, but after a rebuild and a lighting upgrade it is finally electric purple again (still waiting for the nice green polyps.

I also agree with you here. $500 Efflo's have been on my 'list' for a while but I haven't really come across one that I just had to have. I really like the growth form, but yeah, their always kinda brown or green.

For a while this was the "hit list"

Red Planet
Sunset Milli
Strawberry Shortcake
A Rainbow Acro (any kind... I like the Rainbow Nasuta)
Crayola Acro (if it has crazy colours)
$500 (Blue Tipped) Efflo
An Undata with some serious "POP" to it (not necessarily for the spot I'm trying to fill)

Any crazy acros I might no have heard of?

You should add the "Purple Monster" to your list.
All purple with white polyps and maybe a hint of a green sheen to it ... sweet!
If you can find one you will see what slow growth is really all about!
Hand mine for about a year and it has tripled in size but it started as a tiny frag.
But, if your looking for rare...
Keith.

I like ORA Bird of Paradise and Tyree Pink Lemonade, although the Red Planet ranks way up there too.

Ya but that guy is in cali and more than likely wont risk shipping to CAN. BOP, pink lemonade and purple monster are not tabling corals so that kinda rules them out.

Ya, I suppose that rules out all the ones I suggested too.

There really aren't a whole lot of tabling corals out there.

Baby pink Milles look pretty damn awesome, and Milles are table-ish.

DROOLS!!

Nice one Doug! My Snappy's Supergrape is starting to look like that...growth has been taking off since I took it off the frag rack and "mounted" it (wedged it in the rocks).

Doesn't hurt to send a PM and find out.

I have brought a few pieces up from the states, and might see about bring some more up, but for me to sell something I brought up I would have to make it worth my while, or wait for it to be big enough to make my own frag.

You do know what you are admitting to right?

Please tell me you didnt post a picture of the act on facebook too?

Best to keep this private.
