Look it’s wrong to make me pick a favorite child… I love them all equally for various reasons

 

[Gumbies R Us]

If I had to choose, it would be blastos.

[Reef-Mart]

Acans/Micromussa. Honorary mention to Bowerbanki. I do have Blastos as well

acans > blastos

all day…
every day!

hardier, provide movement, endless colors
and easier to frag than finicky blastos
