What is your go-to coral?

[Gumbies R Us]

Sometimes in our tanks, we grow to like a specific kinda of coral. Maybe it is zoas, montis. Or hammers, just to name a few. I am wondering, is there a go-to coral you seem to add more than others to your tank?

Sticks!

Montipora in the high light zones and chalice corals in the low light zones in my mixed reef. Those are the corals that I have multiple different specimens of.

currently in my tank it's my vivids insanity sps. eagerly waiting for it to color up but its still a little frag.

in general i like most corals, but i am partial to SPS. if its a slow/medium grower i'd likely have it in my tank. fast growing stuff tends make it more difficult for me to keep up with ALK consumption.

Ill say lps if thats to general I can narrow it down to euphillia types.

I have always loved toadstools. There's something so elegant about them

Anacropora....I had a small head that grew into a bushel....so far, I've traded it(a piece of it) to a LFS for $40 and got a Indo Torch for $25 basically...and now all the frags that accidentally bump or break off are planted throughout my tank...it's an Anacropora world now....get in where you fit In fools!!

Green Slimer for me. Super fast grower, cool growth patterns, indestructible, colorful under actinics, etc… I frag them and it’s on every tank but end up giving them away since people kept asking! Ha

Sticks specifically stags grow like weeds in mine. But like em a lot

 

[SWFT]

euphyllia, specifically torch. I can stare at their movement for hours

Higher end Mushrooms… so many that look awesome and they’re bulletproof basically.

The ones that replicate like rabbits though are not for me. Do not need 100 red mushrooms in the display.
