Lots of mixed answers as everyone has a different favorite. The end goal is to sit back and enjoy your hard work that you put into your reef tank. To me the swaying torch is mesmerizing.

I went other as I don’t actually know what species you’d class this as, whether you’re calling it a Sun Coral or a Turbastraea (Both it’s known as and yes it’s of the Sun Coral genus). But Turbastraea micrantha is my dream NPS and LPS.
Here’s the photo from Reef Builders. I have two tanks (A 4’ LPS & Softie dominant tank, and a 3’ SPS heavy tank), I would love this

A close second in favourites would be an Orange Hammer, I have a regular hammer but an Orange is my second wish list LPS coral for my 4’ tank. Here’s a photo of one from an older thread on here.

I may end up talking to my LFS about one of these two corals and seeing if they can get one for my 4’. Chances are I’ll end up with a Turbinastraea micrantha first if I do ask them.

Number 3 on the list is a Fox Coral though. They just look stunning all puffed up. This is just LPS… Leathers and Softies are going to end up ruling the tank haha.
That is a gorgeous looking hammer
