Right might seem like a strange question but i need an acropora that hardly grows and keeps its colour ... Its going to be under high light and flow aswell.
Can anybody suggest one

A slow growing SPS would be a Porites. Porites cylindrica (spelling?), they like lots of light and flow. I have a nice yellow colony grown from a frag.
