Lets do something controversial.... What is the best LPS

[Reefkeepers Archive]

Decided to do something different, I want to see what LPS is the most popular or "best LPS" if you will. A few times a day I'll post a poll with 2 LPS options (a few times a day as there is alot of LPS species). It is your job to vote which one is your preference, you can base that off of appearance, growth pattern, difficulty, behavior, aggressiveness, or just which one you love the most. I'll be recording the results and systematically, then eventually comparing the more popular options against eachother until we have one left. That being said, let's get started!

I’ve got to go for Cynaria, it’s just they look nicer and I’ve seen a couple orange puffy Cynaria that were gorgeous whereas Scolys just don’t catch my eye as often.

Definitely love my torches, I'm planning a whole euphyllia vote eventually

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Always have had a soft spot for torches as well

Definitely one of my favorite euphyllia, though I got to say that frogspawn/octospawn have to be my all time favorite euphyllia

 

[Rusty_L_Shackleford]

Favia are my current favorite

 

[OrchidMiss]

Torches are #1
Cynarina are second.

I don't care for most scolys. Only the button ones.

Bubble coral

Agree, though I have also seen some nice scolys...

 

[StatelineReefer]

Depends on what you mean by Large.

Euphyllia. The best EVER!

Euphyllia. The best EVER!

Lobophyllia or platygyra have to be my favorite

Between the two choices I have to go with scolys, the colors are just wow. My diamond goby prevents me from having one. Favorite lps, torches followed by frogspawn and hammers in no particular order.

 

[YOYOYOReefer]

I’m A big fan of branching hammers

 

[Mr_Knightley]

Cynarina, they have way more movement and personality then scolies and have the added benefit of not randomly dying like Scolies are known for.

Closing the poll at 20 votes

Love them both, but if I had to choose, I’d say Cynarinas. Only because they’re most similar to Acanthophyllia, and those are by far my favorite. I have 4 Acanthos and they’re all beautiful and special.
