I started in this hobby a Lover of LPS. The one Coral that made the decision to start a REEF tank and not a Fish only was the ever popular Bubble Coral (Plerogyra sp). It has been described as a low to moderate light LPS. But from my experience it Loves my 250W MH and sites about 10 inches from the light. But before I had my MH it survived under 220W of PCs.
I have kept this coral in a low to medium flow and it has done very well.

Hi Jason...agree completely re. LPS...far more attractive to me then SPS..they are the most beautiful "flowers" of the tank "garden."

I have a bubble - not a pretty green hue like yours, is just the run of the mill white - and not partularly my "favorite"

Top of list for ones in my tank, is may Torch - one of my first which has grown 3X - and two leathers which I got at startup.
All going "gangbusters" now with the addition of MH lighting (using phyto & coral plankton) may also be contributing.

Here they are:





"Torch" not fully expanded, but is a "sight" when it is...will get a better pic. This "Toadstool" "lives" in a giant barnicle shell I found on the beach..

Your corals look great guys, my favorite is my little Hammer Coral, I had to have another one. My last one got so big it was amazing.

(Bad photo, wish I had J's camera!)


My runner up is my Bird's Nest coral. Never had one before, but it's really cool!

I'm with nugio. I couldn't live without my toadstool. I also love my ricordea.

&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.
