    Let's see, any euphylia, that's the frogspawns/hammers/torches, or dendrophylia. Here's a pic of my dendros:

    It's hard to say what my favorite is. I can't put my finger on just one. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

    My favorite is my hydnophora. I have heard that they can be aggresive but I havent seen any aggression but I do keep it away from everything else.
