Sps recommendation

Well,  I have room atop my lps tank for two maybe three acro colonies(thats allowing 6" of spread each).  Im not into digitata and want something that grow numerous branches.  I know relatively easy and sps dont go hand in hand,  im looking for recommendations for pieces that have lower light requirements.  Im looking to poll members to see which pcs people are having the best success with?!

??

Birdsnest is nice and branchy, lots of different colours available. I find Millie's to be one of the easier to take care of.

I guess I should also specify that I run with very little white light.  I need an acro that thrives in deeper more blue spectrum.

Most millis are hardy sps.....montis as well....acros are a little more finicky IMO....
My millis and montis seem to thrive much better than my acros.....

I have 3 Millie's all doing well under 6 ATI blue plus, very hardy and have always had there colours. Sunset, pink and palmers blue also I even find  staghorns a bit easier to care for as well.

There will be two.....it's a good fast grower.....and I only got a 75g.......
I will make two frags.... I will bring them to fragfest on June 1..... Cool?
I will try to post up a pic of my colony when I am back home. I have found this link below that represents the stag very well.....

Mine is a bit brighter green and probably a little more vibrant in general because I keep it up top in high par......

You are welcome to a piece of my forest green with baby blue tips Acro it has a nice growth pattern grows fast and I don't think it's possible to kill it seeing as it grows in the organic soup that passes for water in my system.
