Coral Lovers Thread!

Can these count - Again I know they’re not exactly a coral but they seem to get lumped in as coral a lot.

Those are stunning
My nano is probably the nicest reef I’ve had so far, the 5’ is slowly catching up though with its torches…

But here’s my big showpiece Goni in my nano. A good 3-4 inches long with 2-3 inch polyps.

And my 2 new torches to my 5’ tank.

A goni in a nano? Did I also see you had acro in a nano too? That's insane.

Prior to my crash in November this was the tank.
I basically gave up on SPS after the crash as I figured I’d rather the nice colours and movement of LPS. The growth in SPS isn’t worth the effort needed on a nano IME.

However, an LPS nano is perfect!

Don’t get me wrong, there are some Acros I’d have again - like Acropora carduus and Acropora microclados but to go all out again is too much effort and time consuming (although for the next few weeks I have a lot of free time).

Those are some awesome clams!

Thankyou! I have a baby that looks the same as the big blue with minor differences, now I just need to find a squamosa and hope my 5’ tank’s fish don’t destroy it (This is why I plan for a grow out area in my refugium).

How long have you had them?
Far left finger leather about 3 months, Fiji leather about 6 months bought it from Garetts acropolis for about $20 as a small mother stump. It’s now healed fully and looks complete. Koji wada about 4 months and lastly the weird finger on far right for about 1 month
