In your opinion...what's the EASIEST coral (that you want) to grow? And the hardest?

When we frag, carnation corals, scleronephthya which is tree corals, in frag stages easy, but wild carnations still elusive. But we're getting close

Easiest for me is kenya tree. That stuff would grow in a urinal. Hardest for me so far is chalice corals, and riccordia yuma (sp?) I'm 0/2 with those. :(

So far I’ve had great luck with Frogspawn & Acans, so that has been fun.
I have only began dipping my toes into SPS but the last encounter I had with Acropora might have given me second thoughts lol

For me - Zoas easy, goniopora hard. My Zoas are spreading fast my Goni lasted less than 2 weeks before it was just a skeleton.

Easiest - GSP & Kenya Tree

Toughest - I have a difficult time keeping Torches. Frogspawn & Hammers no problem.

Growth i find acropora the easiest as long can keep alk and salinity stable and dont tinker.

I dont like zoas, they will stay one or two heads forever on me. So stopped keeping them and started to dislike them lol. Euphylia grow very slow for me as well.

The easiest ones have to be green morphs. They split into two, then those two split & become four, & so on.
Infestation.

I don't know what the hardest to keep coral is, but I can't keep Duncans.
