Heather Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Inspired by FarmerTy's favorite wrasse post, I'd like to know what's your favorite coral and why? I realize this might be like choosing your favorite child, so more than one is cool. Wish lists are also good. I have a new tank and I'm looking for cool corals to add in the next few months. Right now I have a tiny little pom pom xenia frag and a small frag of candy apple red zoas My wish list: GSP blue mushrooms green frogspawn a few cool zoas and/or acans (the color combos on these seem endless!) purple plating montipora (any preferences for capricornis or undata?) rose bubble tip anemone sun coral eventually I'd like to try some acroporas too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Before I post, I just want to say I love all my coral children the same. But my current infatuation is with my ice fire echinata. The contrast between the white base and the blue tips is jawdropping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I really like Frogspawn because of the movement that it creates in the current. It's like having an anemone that behaves. My other favorite coral is Stylophora because it grows large, fish like to play in it, and it can be shaped to whatever you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contrast between the white base and the blue tips is jawdropping. That is beautiful Ty! It's now at the top of my "when I'm ready for some more challenging corals" list! I really like Frogspawn because of the movement that it creates in the current. It's like having an anemone that behaves. My other favorite coral is Stylophora because it grows large, fish like to play in it, and it can be shaped to whatever you like. yeah, I really like the movement of the frogspawn too. I googled the stylophora, it's pretty cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Reefer Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I guess I'm an LPS guy cause my favorites are my brain corals. Welsos open and closed - Traci's - Maze - Cat's Eye - Scoly's - Acans - But then I love my Chalices too Miami Hurricane - My Miami - Golden Eye - Superman - Hollywood Stunner and like Sasha I love my Stylos. I have a purple I got from Ty and a rainbow pink Thick Stylo I got from someone in Houston's Reef of the Month tank from another club. I really love them all except the **** Texas Trash Paly's I cant get rid of. My Miami Golden Eye Rainbow Thick Stylo in bottom right pic when I bought it. It is much larger now Edited May 3, 2016 by Neon Reefer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one and only RCA Everlasting Reverse Burn Candle!Same here but also it needs to be inside a sealed glass box, which gives it an ultra low dirt and room temp @76°F .That's where I keep mine....???

nuxx Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Only thing I'm lusting for is a DEEP Orange Hammer (Branching if possible). Nobody ever gets them... have like 100 feelers out... Not talking about the normal "orange" hammers which are peach to gold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust dealers these days and their increasing command of photoshop. Yeah it is. Think that was bought at AustinAquaFarms. Few guys on RC have them as well. Wholesaler in LA has them time to time, but I just missed a few frags about a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
