Kind of a weird title I know
Oh the mucus of some of these corals smell awful! Just had to move a ton of stuff for like the third time in three weeks because I am terrible at placing corals.
In my opinion, leptoseris is the worst, smells kinda like a summer garbage can.
What do yall think?

I didnt know corals smell!

Hmm, the cindaria sommelier. We've invented a new occupation.

Corals have scents? I wasn’t born with a sense of smell. Fascinating.

I have a sense of smell, but not a very good one. I prefer black coffee, dark chocolate, peated scotch, and barrel-aged stouts just so I can taste something. To me all coral just smell like the beach.

I also cant smell in general

I've never smelled anything when a snail dies.....but I HATE the smell of Rhodactus mushrooms. The worst.

The dead or dying would be my guess. I’ve never stuck my nose under water to smell coral.

I gave up sniffing corals. I was addicted for years and hit the sandy bottom. Thank god for therapy 5 years clean!

Really?

I like it, always smell mine out of curiosity.

It’s like one of addictive stinky smells. Like when people smell their dog and cats paws I imagine

Never smelled anything from a mushroom or any soft coral really. Leptoseris genuinely hit me like a truck, I was inspecting one that I was about to attach epoxy to and I got a whiff that made me sneeze a ton, stuck in my nose for half an hour at least.

I brought back luscious seaweed a few years ago from Florida and my multitude of tangs ate it in under 2 hours like salad

Literally the definition of tangs! Will not stop eating as long as the food is in the tank!!! Hahaha. If I where to put sheet after sheet of nori for mine, it will be gone the minute it put in haha

Im at 4 sheets in 2.5 minutes twice a week and 6oz of frozen nit counting dry daily

Acropora is def the worst for me....

Although...a dead Anenome is on a whole different level (but that's not coral)

Couple of things come to mind:

The coral with BJD.

Corals don't have noses, therefore they cannot smell.

The blonde next door almost drowned last week trying to see which coral smelled the worst.

leathers smell funky when you mess with them.

I can’t describe it but the ORA Hawkins echinacea has the most unique smell of any SPS IMO!
It’s a bit disturbing but I’ve grown to enjoy them all!
