Waterbox 70.2 system.
I have:
Frammer
Palythoa
Green Goni

and also two rock flower anemones and a dying bubble tip. I’m currently looking for a better light for the BTA, and to help my current frags to grow better. The palythoas are the only one I’d consider no longer a frag.

I have around 50 different kinds, but multiple frags/colonies of many ..... so probably 150. Tank is a 450.

Truly amazing the number of coral variety available to reef keepers today. I have been reef keeping for more than 35 years.. Back in the day the options were very limited and few!

Just one small toadstool leather (Sarcophyton) and one Tube Anemone (Cerianthus membranaceous) in my 75-gallon FOWLR without a sump.
These came in the aquarium when I purchased it from a coworker a month ago. The fish include 3 triggerfish, so I am wary of adding more corals right now.

...though I am planning a 90-gallon reef with 40-gallon mangrove bay and 75-gallon sump and refugium right now that will include many more corals.

I was inspired by this thread but wanted to make this an official QOTD with a poll so here we go!

So in order for this to make sense we need to know 2 things:

1. How many corals (including frags) do you have in your main display tank?

2. What's the size of your main reef tank display?

Never really counted but for an 8 month old tank I think it looks pretty good
Please don’t pick on my fruity looking fake chain ,, my daughter likes it and so do my ponies

This isn't the best picture but I have about 16 corals and 2 anenomes. My green BTA is slowly shrinking though because it's host fish passed away a number of months ago and none of the new ones will host him, sadly. I have been feeding him 3 times a week but he is not growing at all ;-(
Anyway, 75 gallon tank. I have only ben in the hobby 16 months. Tank has undergone 3 huge moves and hopefully no more in the near future unless I get my "dream tank".
