Default Show me the craziest SPS you've ever seen!

I'm on a hunt (albeit a very slow one) for incredible SPS. I'm trying to track down SPS that are just totally out there and completely different (like the Reef Raft Avenger. I don't care if it's a named coral or not, just needs to be out of the ordinary. And I don't consider red planet out of the ordinary... Ever since my neighbor's dog got one I've considered them common (but still very pretty).

And better yet, if you own said coral, PM me and let's talk.

But for now, let's have a show and tell of the most insane SPS you've ever seen!

My northern delight is pretty original. Green pigment streaks through it as well.

I am into multi-color SPS. The following picture was from an online Canadian store. It was in one of their shipments a while ago. I haven't seen it again. Still searching for one that is close to that color(s).

I hate to pop bubbles but the colour isnt that accurate on that picture. Also a.abrotanoides are especially known to be incredibly hard to keep long term. They do come in regularly in maricultured shipments though.

I got that piece from Burc and it was not even close to that colour.

It is all green now, and I still have it.

...that was my last transaction with him

no bubbles burst, LOL
When I order corals from an online store, I don't usually have high hope of WYSIWYG due to various reasons.

Not sure what you are after by means of crazy, but when I had my 500 gal my red Capricornus reached a size of 29" across and then i had to continuously trim it back, And I planted a green one in the middle and it started growing colored layers as I placed another red piece in the center of the green. Looked pretty neat until I had a mishap which cost me all if my SPS

Ya, I love big caps. I had a massive electric green one until I had a crash

By crazy, I'm looking for the most unusual, intensely coloured, unique corals

Agree with Brad. Halides are still the bomb, but LEDs offer way more positives for that tiny bit of personal preference of halides
