    Not my 100% fave but zoas make me smile. They look like little daisies around the tank.

    The mushrooms obviously, lol. I just love how easy they are to care for. I got the green shroom at the end of June I think and it just had one head. Now it has two heads. I did nothing special except put it in my tank and find a place it was happy. I like zoas as well.

    shrooms because of the color. zoos because they can fill the areas where your LR shows and the are very colorful. Purple monster acros because of color rarity and shape.

    I don't have a single favorite for any one particular reason. I prefer keeping mushrooms and soft corals because they are colorful and easy to care for; However, I drool over a lot of the pics of SPS-dominant tanks I see on here because they are absolutely stunning.
