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 guess I would have to call my bubble coral my favorite as I have had it for 15 years now and it has grown from a wee tiny little fella (skeleton was about 1 1/2" and is now over 14", fully inflated spans well over 2 feet) I would love more sps but my bubble thinks otherwise, any new additions are promptly stung to death.

I have seen this bubble coral and it is huge. Huge and beautiful!
