I like anacropora. The Thing and Tropicana have been exceptionally hardy for me and grow pretty quick. TNT has been fairly hardy, but grows slower than the other two. I got a Goldenrod frag a couple months ago, but it’s been doing fine so far. Have numerous chunky frags of Tropicana and frags of The Thing and TNT in my 3 gallon and they’re all doing good. Cost wise, The Thing will be the lowest priced piece, then the TNT. Tropicana and Goldenrod frags can be a little more pricey
Hmm, goldenrod anacropora is the only coral I've lost recently. Seemed to grow okay for 3 or 4 weeks and then stn over a couple weeks. Nothing else in the tank affected. Only things I can think are maybe a small alk swing I didn't catch (manual testing - no controller to monitor) or reduced flow due to a hollywood stunner that's getting too big. All other SPS in the area were fine though. Kind of a head scratcher with with everything else healthy.

Yeah that’s a head scratcher. I’ve always kept mine in lower/moderate light (I couldn’t tell you par, I’ve had a par meter for 3 years and have still yet to use it lol) and moderate/higher flow and they’ve done well. The one thing I did notice is the more they grow, the bottom/insides start bleaching and dying off while the rest of the piece stays fine. Likely comes down to lighting, flow, or both. Forces me to stay more on top of fragging

Those are beautiful! ever had an issue with the toxins people talk about in zoas or paly?
No I haven't. Just wear glasses in case you squirt something on your face. Have a look at this:

This is much more specific info then I had come across, and makes things make a bit more sense, there's some awesome varieties of zoas out there I'd love to grow so thank you!
