I want a scoly and I’ve heard they are pretty easy to maintain, but they are pricey and I just fear that they don’t make it and I lose $200-$300 that is my dream coral as well as a RBTA but I just don’t wanna deal with all the work they can be lol!

I used to own my dream coral and it guts me every time that I let it die (cause I had no idea what I was doing). The infamous home wrecker acro. I also love the holy grail torch and I don’t own that.

I don't own my dream coral. It is a Jason fox Sunday driver acropora. The reason I don't own this is,
1. Cost- it's is really expensive.
2. Room- My display is not very big. And I have a crowd in there already.
3. Parameters- my numbers like to fluctuate more than I'd like them to.
4. Lighting- would need to add another kessil to feel comfortable attempting to grow this expensive piece...

Thank You for reading. And if you own this coral and feel sympathy for my dreams not being reality and want to send me a frag. PM me and we can work something out...

Last week we talked about our dream fish and I thought why not keep dreaming to start this week in reefing! Some people dream of certain corals because they can't keep them alive in their tank whereas others may not be able to afford a certain type or piece of coral. Whatever it may be let's discuss your dream coral today!

1. Do you have a dream coral and if so what is it?

2. If you don't already own your dream coral what is stopping you from owning it now?

All the ones that I can’t afford, or refuse to pay such extravagant prices for.

What kind is that white corkscrew Coral?
It just came to me as a Corkscrew Coral (the LFS had it labelled as a Corkscrew Gorg ) so I just assume it to be Cirrhipathes Spiralis...I love it though permanently fluffy and the colour is exactly like in the photo

The other one only really fluffs up at feeding times but is a beautiful yellow unlike in the photo of it
