Acros with interesting encrusting growth

[tribbitt]

Having a GSP back wall is so last year, I want an Acropora back wall

I have an RR Kendari with pretty ugly encrusting growth but it's really fast on my back glass, which got me thinking.
Any recommendations for Acropora with particularly colorful and fast encrusting growth?

I would target something that’s going to contrast well against the colors you already have a majority of at the top half of the tank. Ie red if you have mostly green.

Right. Warm colors would be awesome if there are recommendations

Bizzaro or meteor shower cyphastrea would be cool.

Bizzaro or meteor shower cyphastrea would be cool.

I got a big chonk of meteor shower cyphastrea if anyone wants to try it.

I used to use an encrusting monti for that, Idaho grape grew so fricking fast that I just needed a single frag there for it to do it's job. With acros they tend to grow significantly slower, so you'd probably want to make a ton for frags and essentially create nucleation points to maximize growth speed

I'm worried it will take over, which is why I've shied away from Montipora and Styloconiella genus. Maybe I just have to be on top of it?

Rocks touch my back glass

Threw this pc rainbow on the back wall and I’m happy with it rn.

At least I think it’s a pc rainbow
