Just talking colors…? probably this section of my Zoa garden rock. Many other variables to consider though! I also love my Acan Echinata collection that I’ve been growing.

tough call, but right now probably this Acan Maxima I got from @CherryCorals as a single polyp back in 2016. It glows under blues

I don't think that's an acan maxima. Acanthastrea maxima, now reclassified as sclerophyllia maxima, is found only in the red sea, Persian gulf, and western Indian Ocean, where no stony corals are collected. I would say that coral is either a regular acanthastrea (echinata, hemprichii, subechinata, etc) or an acan pachysepta.

You're not the first to say this when I post pics of this coral. I just call it what it was sold to me as by the guys @CherryCorals , thanks for the feedback. For reference, the center polyp is about 3.5" across. Been fun watching it grow up from when it looked like this on their site.

For me I would say my orange hammer! It has some cool Teal and purple in there too!

Second is maybe my Gmk frag. It's pretty small still but these guys glow from across the room!

guys what is the trick to getting the stunning photos with vivid colors from your phone. I have a Samsung phone and am clueless on some of the features. What is the best filter to byu for it to get those vivid color pics? I had a little orange yellow plastic piece WWC sent me with an order but did not get any good results with it.

Buy a decent lens kit for your phone it will make a huge difference.... i use the DD reef lens kit and it can take impressive pictures with the macro lens and filter

And the best thing it only cost about 30 Euros/Dollars

I would like to thank this Gentleman for helping the old guy migrate into the age of technology and learn how to use his phone settings for some coral pics.

And thank you to others who offered me advice also. It's a good community here.
