What's the NUMBER ONE coral that you're very excited about right now?

[revhtree]

Our interests change when it comes to coral in our tank. It varies based on experience level, prices of certain coral, what's popular, growth patters, tank goals etc. So today let's talk about what coral you're really digging right now!

What's the NUMBER ONE coral that you're very excited about right now and WHY is that?

Not a coral as such but my Magnifica anemone is beautiful and something of a centrepiece.

Added a NY knicks and cotton candy torch. Trying my luck again. They seem very happy with great polyp extension and fleshy stalks. My pc rainbow is also encrusting like a champ and showing great color with a lime green base and russet orange/red stalk. Happy my acros are all still happy.

Garf bonsai growing like molasses though. Might need more white light or lower phosphates, not sure.

Receiving an elegance today. Been on my wish list for years

Just added some higher end SPS, Walt Disney, Bill Murray, TSA Carolina Reaper, Pinky the Bear and a few others

That would be my new acropora efflorescens!!!

I'm very excited, because this is my first attempt at keeping Acropora in many years, and my first ever in my skimmer-less system. I've scarcely had it for a week and I'm already seeing excellent polyp extension.




I've also just thrown in a second pump in the tank, to augment the flow around it, as I did notice a few branches are a little prone to have detritus settle. I had a Tunze 6020 for the whole tank. Now I've placed a Tunze 6040, with the deflector aimed at the colony, in order to blast the area every 10 seconds.

Started out not "getting" the allure of acros since they were more expensive and harder to keep and I was mostly into LPS. But now I've got a trident, CO2 scrubber, and all the KZ products just to keep them alive and color them up. Still very into goniopora/aleavapora though which seem to be very happy in my tank.

Hawkins Echinata Acro. Hyped!

All coral gets us excited!

An avatar chalice that’ll be coming this Friday. I don’t really have room for it, but couldn’t resist.

otherwise am excited for my gold branching hammer, which is growing its fourth head (at a very solid pace). Especially since in the last, Hammers for some reason wouldn’t live in my tank; they would just waste away.

The stellaria chalice I got from WWC's last live sale. Looking forward to watching that one grow

Love this chalice! Puts out tons of feeders at night. Greedy eater!

 

[i cant think]

I’m excited for my Stylophora and Acropora. Fighting the sunlight a bit (Darn you Film algae) but these two are growing like nothings happened!
I’ll get a photo of both once I’ve cleaned the glass.

1 and 3ish, all corals are exciting, but im especially excited about toadstools.

Good to hear, I’ll have to move some stuff around once I place it. But I think for the time being it’ll be on a single frag rack

"No coral at all for me in the tank"​

Tank crashed a month back. I have been stabilizing the tank and it is coming back around. The corals that survive will mean something special to me. I am for the first time really excited about a fish. I want my first flasher wrasse.

 

[Cool tangs]

Love my acropora and digi's, also enjoy goni's but there hard to keep alive long term. Like my traccies and pectinia, chalice's. but really getting into torch coral of recent

 

[saltyhog]

Kind of excited about this acro. I bought it at my LFS as a browned out frag for $15. It's starting to show some real promise. This Pic is a month ago. New branches growing from the encrusted part now.

 

[TonyP]

The Acropora Striata!

 

[sqznest]

New Forest Fire Digitata that just started to send up some branches. Frag was just encrusted when I got it.
