What is your favorite type of coral?

What is your favorite type of coral, both to own and look at pictures of?

My favorite to own and watch grow is acros, but I really like pectina and blastos.

My favorite to look at pictures of is acros.

For me,,that is almost a impossible question to answer. In no particular order,,, Chalices, Recordia's and Acros. Chalices come in such a large variety of colors and patterns, the same holds true with Acros, a tank with a large collection of recordias in it can't be beat.

I think my top three Zoanthids, Welsophyllia brains, and Acros. I like that that they come in so many different color variations. Acans would be fourth.

I'm with Pete in that I really can't answer that, but I love acros, acans, montis and then everything else. Each coral has it own uniqueness so that makes them all great.

I also love the acros, zoas/palys, and wellsophyllia. If I could keep rainbow acans actually rainbow then I would like them more.
