Good info, thanks... I have mine on frag rack on upper 1/3rd of tank on the end. It opened up fully in a day and is absolutely stunning as it is now.

Goni's seem to do well wherever I put them in my tank as long as they are not in full force flow areas. Lighting, in my tank, seems less of an issue than flow.
Mine like a bit of flow…….the big one now at the top of my rock work I don’t think was getting enough flow originally. Seems to like it where it is now…

Jawbreaker mushroom. Just got it to attach after a few days in a cup.

Don't know that I'd say /very/ excited, but my Chemical Warfare favites (same species as Fascination favites) is doing quite well. Also, the 'dealer's pick' rock flower anemone I got in a recent order is pretty cool; red rim, lime-ish green mid ring, blue center kinda splotched into the green.

Funnily enough, the favites was non-WYSIWYG too. I ordered a "mystery frag" from TSA during a sale, asked in the order comments for something with smaller polyps, and got something really neat. Thank you, whoever picked that out! Wish I'd taken a picture when I first got it, to see its growth up to now. Sadly, its location means I can't photograph it right; it's too far back in the tank to photograph well from the side, and it's directly under the light, so any attempts to take a picture from the top are 90% light glare off the surface.
 

i cant think

This is where it gets confusing as one head appears to be splitting into 2 or 3 but I guess technically it’s still all one head and I’m pretty sure when that photo was taken it was all one head.

I'm really into mushrooms right now and pavona cactus potato chip coral. The old green ones. Not the new Jason fox freak hair one. Though it's kool too. Lol.
Really like blastos and fungia plate corals.
Acan lords and micromussa brain corals.
These can be some of my favorite. I know u asked for #1 but... lol

I fairly recently got a scoly, and I’m really liking that — it looks cool and is fun to feed.

Other than that, I’m into softies. I have a fish that eats corals — all SPS and anything encrusting, so aside from the scoly, an acan colony, and some blastos, I’ve embraced building a tank with softies. I love the movement first of all, and I really like the challenge of finding ones that are unique and brightly colored.

Seriously interested in this quickly growing frag of 4 months. This Hydnophora seems to be surfing between the two worlds of sps and lps. The polyps are not only “medium” sized (not small or large) but will also send out sweeper tentacles to protect its space. People and “things” just want to be different! This specimen (photo) is presently in my frag tank but will soon be mounted in my dt.

Nice to see a large variety of corals here! A little surprised at how many of them are frags. I'm always most excited about my grown out colonies, but hey, here is a $50 WD frag I had to pick up as a backup to my small display tank WD colony... you know, since all the cool kids are doing it!

For me whichever coral is putting on a site at the moment lol. My favites and Hollywood stunner chalice are sweeper champions and I love their nightly shows.
