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?

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.
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.

How about any hammer as bonus. Thoughts????

Gold, Peach and splatter hammers are bonus, but the others are very common in the club
Tbh the peach and splatters are very quick proliferating too

Oh missed that is this a splatter hammer?

Um, it could be? Not a ton of splattering imo, but might count
My splatters look like this
this is an older epic, but the leftmost one is also splatter

That's more of a bi color hammer than splatter in my opinion

Yep that's what I thought too I was just checking

There are definitely more than one kind of splatter. The one I have is only one type
There are others that have more distinction between splatter “zones” and maybe yours is just from a darker part of the colony. Or yours morphed a little in your conditions - it does look like the tips of the tentacles have splattering, but the coral appears to be stretching for light so it looks darker

Yeah i looked closer and it looks like the tips have speckling
I think they’re just stretching for light

Awesome I'll post pics of the other heads later for a better analysis.
The blue tort shared widely in the club that we were calling Oregon Tort, but our experts say isn’t, has been renamed BAR Blue Tort and put on the Bonus list. It was shared in the club through this DBTC:
Just wanted to let folks know for the upcoming swap!
