It’s hard to pick just one when you have two separate tanks with different ‘types’ of coral in! Here’s just some favourites from each tank though.

Sunset Montipora

Golden Speckled Red Digitata

and FTSs of both tanks because I can’t pick a favourite and all my corals are loved dearly (yes… even that rock of pure Ricordea yuma).

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.
Check out this Lens! It's on sale right now for $29 and actually comes with blue light and white light lens' in the same kit:

One of my favorite corals would have to be this bernardpora. Over the past 6 months it's actually increased in intensity to a crimson red from the reddish-pink when I first got it (pictured). Hands down one of if not the easiest LPS corals to take care of.

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

Ha, I took LOTS of them for practice. I use a decent camera (Canon T6i), good Macro lens with a filter, then do post processing in Adobe LightRoom. There are some great articles in the sticky threads section of the photography forum. I learned a lot from them.

Recent pic of that Acan Maxima
