What are those unique looking coral you love but no one talks about?

[Gumbies R Us]

One thing I love in this hobby is learning about all sorts of marine life, from fish to coral. I am wondering, what are some unique looking coral you love, but you don't see many people talking about? Curious to know what everyone says!

I don't see those talked about that much!

Gorgonians. Why aren't these things more popular?

Leather corals. A beautiful leather adds that final living reef touch to the aquarium in my opinion. There are so many beautiful leathers out there with unique colors, especially coming from Indonesia or Australia. On the more complicated side Dendronephthya.

Goniastrea. Wilsoni. Moleseya. Nemenzophyllia. And while pretty common, platygyra dosent get the appreciation it deserves

If you can keep it alive, from what I heard they are harder than acropora!
