    Hello everyone,

    So i just wanted to make this little topic, to see what your guys favorite corals are. Explain why its your favorite, like for example: Color, shape and what not :) I really like open brain corals, but they are too big for my nano. I love the open brain colors with the extreme colorations. I also like the "wavey" sort of look, it looks awesome.

    So... Whats your favorite coral?

    Honestly, I really dont' have a favorite. They all have a place in my heart. The one I catch myself staring at the most, in my tank, is my Tyree Undata. I really like the coloration and the growth patterns. This would be followed up closely by my ORA Blue Voodoo or Red Planet.

    Fungia plate corals! So many colors and they grow huge fast. I love how their tentacles sway in the current.

    i have always had a soft spot for a tank that has a huge show piece leather coral, doesnt really matter the type. i just think they are epic looking, and also very easy to care for so thats always a bonus.

    Every type of plating Acropora or Montipora. The plating acropora are just stunning to me.

    Although not a plating coral, I really like Acropora humilus- The growth pattern of it makes it a winner in my book.
