What kind of coral makes you go ape nuts?
 
What kind of coral does it for you? What's in your tank that you're the most proud of, or what's something you've seen in a magazine that you really wish you desired? Do you have lots of it, or just a little?

Me it's SPS. I think it's because it's supposed to be "difficult" and it makes me excited to see SPS doing well in my tank, makes me proud. I also like to bring my face RIGHT up to the glass (like an inch away) and look over all the little polyps. I used to have an interest in macro photography and I think that you're getting 1000 corals for the price of one when getting an SPS colony :)

I think having a small 45g tank lets me get close enough to enjoy it on that level. I think if I had some big 240g plus tank it'd be a different story.

My colony I'm the most proud of is the pink pocillopora I picked up bleached from an LFS and that I've been nursing back to health slowly. It'll take more time but it'll be quite the piece when done.

for me, it's all about the color. Doesn't matter if it's soft, SPs or los, if it's brightly colored, it's good

I only really had one coral do that for me, it was a fox coral.

is it possible to get enough corals? the coral section of the fish store is just like a candy store so many colors and flavors you just wanna take them all home put them in your tank, and then roll around on the floor in front of your tank hoping some kinda national geographic moment is gonna happen right before your eyes:turn-l:

For me it's SPS. Although I love the LPS & softies too, there's nothing quite so cool as seeing new growth on a SPS frag or colony. Although my Duncan grows way faster than any other coral in the tank, noticing a new branch starting out on one of the SPS is just so much more satisfying. I don't think I have a particularly favourite SPS coral; I like them all.
