Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 11/14/24)

[derek_SR]

Weeping Willow leather (Jake original, bahama llama, biota?)
Rainbow Diaseris
Acropora granulosa and lokani I think could be ultra. They're slower growers and are very nice
Icefire echinata - I don't remember if someone ended up finding some, but it definitely is in the hobby

Have we actually seen anyone with a purple monster or is that an artifact / hopeful listing?

100% just for me, but I think snake polyps deserve to be on the list too just because of how uncommon they are

All smooth skin acros are already at least bonus by default. I have a MC granulosa that grows fast enough I don’t think it makes sense to be ultra, though I think maybe some named ones could be? What did you have in mind?

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

Also maybe add PC Rainbow Acropora to the Bonus list.

The Jake Adam's one is ledgendary not even sure anyone has it, bahama llama one less rare but I've yet to learn of anyone who has either or else I would be hunting them down lol.

Rainbow Diaseris

Added to bonus. It likely deserves Ultra but Josh curates the LPS list so I’ll let him make that decision.

It’s a really nice acro but we just had a sizable grow out competition of it, and an excess of frags of a “wild” pc rainbow lookalike from the last swap. If you’re personally looking for some I’m sure there’s some around

A. carduus grows pretty fast, compared to granulosa and lokani which grow markedly slower and are sometimes more desirable. I think that they, like many other corals on the list, kind of slot between bonus and ultra

So up to you, it was purely my opinion that there could be a distinction

Pretty sure the last lineaged one died in shipping from the studio I saw in a video somewhere.
