Best selling sps

The Saltman · 05/20/2008, 09:11 PM

Hi guys,

I'm looking into stocking my sps and was just wondering what sps sell like hotcakes around here. I'm looking for colorful sps that I can enjoy in my tank, yet also sell to support my hobby.

If you haven't had any SPS in your tank before, I suggest slowing down and trying out some montipora caps. If you can handle them, then venture further.

I have had sps in the the past and had great success with them.

Orange Capricornis is by far the best...easy to grow...grows fast...colorful...even beginners can keep it alive. I've made several hundred dollars in store credits at a LFS on this coral alone in the past 3 years. My next best sellers are blue stag (a blue slimer that'll die only if you try to kill it), purple/blue millie and sarmentosa.

KISS...make money on corals that are easy to keep, maintain their colors even in subpar enviroment and grow fast.

One thing to consider. Some corals sell like hotcakes only when they are hot. There is a degree of fashion and rarity that comes with it. Whats hot now may not be by the time you get your stock to grow out and ready for harvest.

My suggestion is go for the obvious, colorful, fast growing and hardy. Stuff that always sells.

ORA has alot of nice corals, most are popular and will always sell. Starting with their stock is a good idea. There are other coral farms with high quality sps like ORA too.

When first starting to stock sps, what are some really good sites/coral farms to order from?

For ORA frags take the trip to Vermillion ohio and check out the Salty critter they have about 100+ ORA frags right now and the prices are much better than online.

As more toxic levels of PO4s are present, the slower the macro algae grows (as it stuns the growth), and vice versa Current Tank Info: 320 Gallon Reef, 72 Gallon Softie
