For me it's red mushrooms. Regular discosoma. Why? They are the first coral I ever bought in 2005. I've actually gotten rid of the colony several times in the earlier years when I was not sentimental about the first coral and moved onto other species. Yes they are pretty bulletproof but as I already said I've got rid of them in the past only to have one or 2 pop up on the rock. They have survived 2 upgrades, one downgrade, several breakdowns from tank crashes and a 700km move that included 6 weeks in a holding tank before the reef was properly setup again.
I've lost at least 100 nicer corals since then probably a lot more. $1000s of dollars for sure, there are dozens of nicer corals in my tank now but I still have what started it all for me.
