Onereef-
Nice, I actually dont have one of those yet. Do you? if you do is it a fast grower?

ingtar_shinowa · 10/02/2010, 06:57 PM

its growing fast for me (pink lemonade)

Potsy · 10/02/2010, 07:17 PM

My favorite is my green, pink, and purple open brain coral that is currently serving as a host for my black ocellaris. It was one of my first corals and I've had it for almost 10 years. It's the first thing anyone notices when looking at my tank.

Canadian Reefer · 10/02/2010, 07:20 PM

I have a milllion watts of light over my aquariums and my favorite is my black sun coral lol. I spen a fortune in bulbs and electricity but my NPS corals are my favorite with the black sun being my all time favorite.

I just got a nice frag a couple of weeks ago and it is already showing some growth. I have seen some awesome colonies out there, like these:

How long have you had it? I've always wanted to try one. I have four colonies of yellow and orange tubastrea. I think that's probably my favorite coral.

Bongo Shrimp · 10/03/2010, 11:02 AM

I don't have one single favorite but high on my list is my Rhizo:

I have had the black for over two years, The care is the exact same as my yellow sun I spot feed every day.

ocfishaddicts · 10/03/2010, 12:12 PM

how cool is that fish in the pics!!! i asked my lfs about buying one and they said it wasn't reef safe and possibly eats shrimp -- have you had any problems with the fish???

reefWW96 · 10/03/2010, 12:15 PM

I love the Orange spot filefish. truly awesome. thanks for all the pics everyone. Can you post a pic of your Black sun coral canadian reefer?

wickedfish · 10/03/2010, 12:17 PM

Probably my Miami orchid cause its growing like a weed and it was planted 3 weeks ago in the lower half of the tank.

reefWW96 · 10/03/2010, 12:32 PM

Kind of quasi reef safe. Here's my thread about them. No trouble with shrimp. I got my pair already trained to frozen from DD.
