What is your Favorite coral

What is that one coral that you had to have or Need to have to make your Reef Dreams Complete?
give a brief description and a photo is you have one.

 

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 like brain and polyps and also hammer.

 

Ricordias are one of my favs!

 

Did someone say Zoanthus?

 

My fav is the toadstool hes grown so top heavy I had to frag him near the cap.
Coral list so far:

green star polyps

shrooms

frogspawn

brain

hammer

 

are brain corals hard to keep.

 

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