Grow a full tank of only one Coral

[Vinman]

So if you could only grow one Coral in your tank what would it be and the picture of the coral would be nice

A giant elegance coral. Or a second would be a giant Acropora echinata.

Seen tanks dominated by the following coral, sometimes not by intent.

GSP
Xenia
Gobstopper palys
Green Rhodactis shrooms
Anemones of all types (frankly I get tired of looking at nothing but bubble tips or condis)
Euphyllia
Leather corals
Giant clams (cool looking, but was a nightmare keeping calcium in the water)
Acans
Rock flower Anemones ( pretty, but it needs to be a shallow tank and low to the ground)
Bunch of others.....

I did see the 50'ish cube one time full of nothing but several miami orchid acropra, and if I had to copy one tank that would be it.

Yes but if you had your choice to grow one Coral a full tank what would it be

Stag only tank would be cool, blue green, purple.

Not my pic but one of my favorites

A whole tank of that would be unreal!

That's a tough choice I think I'd do a galaxia only tank, would have great movement and good colors. Like a neon green /yellow /purple rug covering all the rocks

Lot of tentacles...powerful tentacles

I have one that is really subdued and I've never had a problem with.

In this theoretical tank it be very interesting to see thousands of sweeper tentacles, the feed response would be epic.

Couple nice powerheads blowing that wind everywhere be like a long haired girl in a windstorm

 

[Mr_Knightley]

if I had to choose, I would either say a tank full of assorted Rhodactis (not really corals), a tank with only Montipora spongodes, a cool one could be an only Acanthophyllia tank, that would rock!

This makes me wonder.... can sweepers get tangled?

 

[Steven Garland]

A Acan only tank would be my top choice.

 

[littlefishy]

A medium/smaller, under 75 gal tank with only one specific coral or only one type of species would be a lot more like a reef in nature

A Acan only tank would be my top choice.

That would be fluffy like a bounce house

Saw a 30 or 40 cube that had a single Nepthea taking up the entire thing. It looked like a giant tree with a bunch of cardinals hovering around it..

Looked amazing tbh...fairy tale like.

For all the tentacle fans out there. Here's my 40 gallon breeder
