What is that in the sand on the bottom right? Trachy?

Xunhe, love the dark, spooky photography and the corals match the mood!

Love the coordination on photos of Tangerine fish then color.

That’s not a color you see very often in corals. It’s mesmerizing

It started off as red and has changed to orange with a bit of stripes of purple

My cutie little toadstool! They’re so underrated. I used to have one that was almost 8 inches in diameter that my clowns loved! They’re so cool to me.

I agree, so underrated and a total hobbit specimen you would see in the Shire! I have two little ones and I am always cheering them on!

Orphek or Coral View . Both are good, and actually almost identical

Yeah, I'm just lazy and haven't bought one yet. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I'll likely go with the Orphek.

You are going to love it, look for it by Favia of the Gods, because there is one quite similar that if I'm not mistaken is called Yellow Submarine.

Luis, favia/favites really caught my eye as a possible first coral. I saw yours, and thought id shoot you a quick message. Will these do well in a small area on the sand bed with a few of them near each other? I know they can be aggressive towards other corals and slow growing. I would really like a small garden of then in the back corner of my tank. Thanks for your help so far !

I have nothing cool or interesting but I love my zoas.
The orange ones started as 6.

Your corals are fantastic!! That's what we all imagined having when we started this hobby. Great great pics!

Since there are so many of you coral lovers in one place, could you help with some ID?
Favia? Name? Look alike?

Hammer? Torch? Nem? Please don't say carpet...


And I know zilch about SPS. What is this?

2nd looks like a Duncan, and the 3rd is maybe a montipora?

You will hear a grown woman squeal, while jumping up and down, if that's a Duncan!!!

Probably Favites

Sure looks like a Duncan

Growth pattern looks more Pavona to me but it could be a Monti

There is a Wrasse Lovers Thread, Anemone Lovers Thread, CUC Lovers Thread, and even specific coral lover threads, but I have yet to find one on corals in general, so this is the official Coral Lovers Thread! Let see some of your awesome corals!

Also feel free to discuss coral, or ask people about their

Probably Favites

iDs on pics would be great.

@VintageReefer I give up tryin to look back...don't suppose your 3d printer friend wants to make more? Or if there are kits like yours?

I told him I have no interest in profiting on the item but I would like it to be available to benefit the community, and
I am sure others our there would like to have it

He has a Etsy store and 3d printing business and he put the kit in the store for 13$ for the shelf and two tiles.

Replacement / extra tiles were available in single and 5 hole designs for less than 10$

Everything’s color could be customized

Currently he’s replacing his printer and took the store down but it will be available again soon
