    Just want to see what your favorite type of coral is? Whether it be LPS, SPS, Corallimorphs, zoos, leathers, gorgonians, sponges etc. or a specific kind of coral like Montipora Denae, Acropora Millipora, Rhodactis inchoata(blue mushrooms) etc.

    SPS for sure, all of them. I also have a small thing for zo's. But ever since i started with SPS (first one was a montipora digitata) i was hooked.

    Wow, how lucky are you!!!! Superman Montipora is beautiful...
    I have 8 different types of Montipora as they along with Echinopora, and Echnophyllia are my favorites!!! I have a 2"frag of Superman that is coloring up rather nicely!
    I also have a rainbow and sunshine Montipora frag as well as digitata(purple, green and orange) and Orange and green Capricornis pieces!!!

    SPS are by far my favorite but I also like a lot of the LPS corals.

    Wow, I am not too crazy about sps...don't know why but I do like the blue acros.

    I love frogspawn, I love the green colour and the way it sways in the current.

    I love ricordia, something about them that I love, maybe the different colours. I have four different rocks with rics so needless to say, they are my fav. But I also love my finger leather which has gotten quite big and my xenia.

    I finally see what everyone means about xenia. One of mine decided to move over onto my LR and left a new baby growing on the plug it came on, plus the one that moved has decided to split. They are enchanting to watch, now that mine pulse like crazy.
