"Difficult" can be a relative term, so I'm going to leave you all to decide what the "traditionally difficult" corals are in this conversation. But for those of you who keep these types of corals, why?

Is it because you genuinely like the way they look, or do you enjoy the challenge? Or maybe a little bit of both?

Let's discuss!
