    A nice and wise choice as an introduction in the fascinating and beautiful world of small polyp stonies in my opinion! Their three color morphs in which to choose from: rose, blue and green! All three ar very colorful and have scalelike coralites and are a hairy Acropora species.
    Other nice, hardy and distinct small polyped stonies are Montipora Digitata, and Capricornis, Pavona, and Porites, followed by Seriatopora, Pachyseris and Pectinia!
    Which ever one you choose...you won't be dissapointed IMO!

    I would find something Local. There is nothing wrong with shipping SPS but I think if it's your first one I would go with a local one to avoid adding additional variables to it's success.
