If you had to do a reef aquarium with just one coral...

[uniquecorals]

...which one would it be? And why?

Can be any type of stony coral, zoa, softy, etc.

For me, it would be a Pocillopora species. This coral is variable, comes in a bunch of cool color morphs, and generally tribes in most "reef aquarium" conditions. Plus, it's easy to propagate and I wouldn't get bored of it easily!

This is just one of those thought-provoking questions you ask yourself now and again, so I was curious about everyone's selections!

I'd love to have a Ricordea only tank!

In one of the talks I give about aquascaping, I challenge hobbyists to do an aquarium with an all- Ricordea bottom! How cool would that be? But darned expensive! Hmm...let's see if we can make Ricordea more affordable so someone can try this! Another thing to work on!

For me it would DEFINITELY be milliporas. I Love the polyp extension and color morphs. Hammer them with flow and light and they do AMAZING!!!

Yep same here. They give the tank some movement.
