What is your favorite coral????

Just about any zoo

 

my frogspawn ;D ;D ;D but dont tell my red and green ti-die zoa

 

Oh man, so many to choose from...I think one of my all time favorites has to be prism favia/dragon soul favia:

 

Thats tough, I'm really scratching my head... Rouge Milli, Sunset Milli, Pearlberry, Rainbow Acro, Setosa, then you get into zoas.. or.. lps.. how many unnamed beautiful LPS, acans, lobos, symphillia.. Ricordeas.. chalices... even mushroom corals, I Have some very cool rhodactis morphs.. who has that crazy "acid trip" or whatever discosoma?

Ill have to get back to you..

 

Out of all of my corals, right now my favorite is the acro frag I snagged from Petco of all places. It goes from purple to blue tips with green polyps. Paid $27 for a good sized frag.

My favorite up until that point was my ORA pearlberry.

I am trying to get my hands on the Tropicorium Acid Trip Chalice

 

All of them! They all have their own beauty and purpose in their own special way.

 

I've been told by a reliable source who as seen that in person, that it does not live up to it's photo.

 

My blastomussa wellsi, when I got it a year ago it had 5 heads, now it has 15. That's it in my avatar, although from long ago.

 

here is a photo with no actinics just 14k halide:



if you run a tank with a lot of blue, i think it will look great, if not it will be nothing special like the above photo. Like all corals, it is all about the lighting

Is that tropicorium as in Trop the LFS/Wholesaler in MI? I've been there and seen one, and it defineatly did not look like the first pic. It was red and purple on blue. Of course that was in their huge grow out bins with UG filters under 12K halides. Their "fancy coral" display rimless runs only blue T5s and a 20K radium I believe, which is most likely where that 1st pic was taken. So I agree with RAH, unless you run 6 true blue T5s, you won't get that color.
