Worst has to be anything that spreads as fast as Pandoras/Nirvanas
There’s some spectacular polyps out there that make it really tough to pick just one as a favorite.

The three favorites *at the moment* and names they were sold as…

Top rack: Predator
Lower polyps: TSA Spellbinder

I follow you on IG (littlebigreef there too). I’m usually so blinded by your torches I competely missed that you’re sitting on a hoard of spellbinders- looking great!

I'm most frustrated with Orange Oxides at the moment. I love the way they look and glow, but I can't keep them alive for the life of me. I have 13 different types of zoas in my EVO (some, like my Halle Berries, I have to kill back with Aiptasia X to keep them from taking over), and all sorts of SPS and acros; but I can't get the Oxides to stick. I've had 3 different frags from 3 different sources and all of them have melted away after a few weeks.

Literally picked these up today. The store I got them from don't know the name but they are awesome (In person they are a vibrant blue/purple). I love the white speckle on the tentacles. Other favorite zoas are Jedi Mind Tricks and Grim Reapers.

I have these ones called "Armor of God" lol not what I imagine he would be using BUT they are very very pretty. In my lights they are more of a pink with a purple background and pink tentacles

My favorite was one of the “spheres” (there was a thread in here about some $1k polyp or something but it looked amazing (they just melt on everyone)). But some of these are growing in me especially the predators and those spell binders posted above

I don’t have a a favorite, a colorfully balanced zoa garden is what I aim for.
Pandoras are the absolute worst, they are weeds that are not even pleasant to the eyes.

NO offense - they are all 'made up' names - and I don't like any of them:(.
