Flowing Coral: What's your favorite "moving" coral?

[Chessmanmark]

Without the right wave maker, it doesn’t matter.

Visualize a mature goniopora swaying back and forth in the current.

Without the proper programming it will never live up to its potential.

Which SPS species have that level of polyp extension?

My green slimer is fuzzy.

 

[Dburr1014]

I like movement from LPS coral

I love my hammer and duncans!

 

[LouisianaReef]

Euphyllias are my favorite for movement in the tank. Nothing like a euphyllia garden with hammers, torches and frogspawn grouped together

1. What is your most favorite "flowing coral?" Photos will get you bonus points!

Large healthy goniopora

2. How important to you is having a reef tank with coral movement in it?

Outside of your typical LPS, there's something so appealing about the long polyp extension of some SPS such as some birdnest corals. I love seeing the waves of polyps moving gently in the flow.

I've also always loved seeing anemones, torch corals, and goniopora... but who doesn't!?

Elegance

I voted moderate, I like a combination of both. Looks more natural IMO. My torch at present time is my favorite. It extends so much and just flows so elegantly.

I think flowing corals in a tank can be good or bad. It can distract from other corals. Also fish can provide the movement.

torches are my favorite mostly, followed by fuzzy acro's like tenuis and milliporas. any kind of other euphyllia follow after that, because they are all mostly flowy.
for softies, my pulsing xenia wins the vote.

I'd have to say my fuzzy pulsing sinularia and gorgonia also all Euphilia corals.

 

[thewedge]

I kinda like torches...

That's amazing and beautiful. Would love to see video

 

[Suesea]

I'd have to say my fuzzy pulsing sinularia and gorgonia also all Euphilia corals.

The lights were getting night mode so everything looked purple. Sinulara is light pink and gorgonian is definitely purple looks even more purple under these lights. Good night to all East Coast R2R peeps.

Who knew “Tribbles” came in that many colours?

One for the youngsters there lol, love the old star trek.

Not the longest tentacles or the most striking color, but the most interesting, dazzling movement in my opinion

 

[NoahLikesFish]

i like clam and sinulara (both going in my tank)

 

[DeniseAndy]

I love so many corals for movement. In my gorg tank all were great. Currently I love my blue xenia corals, cespitularia, and my toadstools are always great.

Only recently did I learn how awesome Duncans are. Got a 2-head frag from WWC in mid-June and it has popped 4 new baby heads out since then. Super fun to target feed also - almost like an anemone.
