If I answered this a year ago I would have said, LPS. The year before that I would have said zoas. Now my sps is really taking off and doing extremely well.

It's like all the corals go through stages of ugly, a lul in growth and PE to exploding in new heads or branches. It's fun to watch. And frustrating when they look bad.

Hands down my firework cloves, followed by my Xenia and maxima clams.

Fireworks were growing good under led's, moved them to my t5 tank and them things went nuts.

Zoas spread like crazy in my tank but then get stung like no tomorrow and close up and recede from my nems. Torch is about the only thing that can compete with my nem that’s split 4 times. Only prob with nem splitting 4 times is the fact it’s a nano. 32g lol

I'm in kind of a reboot. Hopefully it takes well and I can start keeping acros again.

I don't know what it is about these pink palys (there are a couple of similar morphs mixed in). I just got rid of 40 completely covered frags of these and with what is left I can probably make another 25 frags. They just keep growing and growing. I have them in all of my tanks. 1000s of polyps a year.

I have one particular chalice that grows very well. Lots of other softies and even one acro. Usually though for a few months certain things will take off then it will be something else. I don't think it's so much a change in water chemistry it's that my tank(s) are packed and once I give one of these fast growing corals some room they take it up before another one of the fast growing corals can cover it.

Aside from the weed that is my anthelia, my montipora undata is turning into a monster.

So was finally sent a pic of my ricordea as well as the plays I have (please pardon the flatworms, i dislike using chemicals, plus I'm out of country for work, been away from the tank since Feb, and wont be back to it till dec)
