    Large colorful LPS, mostly the expensive ones. And beautiful pink and blue sps with varying shades of purple mixed in.
    Now if only I could grow some I would be happy. Isn't this like gardening?
    ;D

    I've got to say elegance. When nice and healthy the colors in them can be unreal. I've got one that is green with every shade of pink through red going through it with bright purple tips. It stops people in their tracks.

    :lol: Your welcome Monkey!! I would have more, but my angel loves them tooo. Im glad to hear alot of different corals here, it would be boring if everyone like the same one, :hehe: . Im gonna add one to my list. I bought a bright orange plate coral yesterday, and that flat blob of a coral is just plan cool!! It eats like a pig, and is supper bright under actinics. LPS corals are cool because they still move like the sofies in the current, but come in alot better colors. Keep um comming!!

    I am going to have to go with SPS. Really the big selling point is growth speed. Even though I love soft corals, they grow so fast and take over the tank...(colt + xenia o_O). My favorite sps is for sure montipora. I love this little coral because it does grow pretty fast for an sps...but only fast enough to see change over a period of a few months.
