Coral Suggestions- Centerpiece

Sundog101 · 11/06/2014, 07:14 PM

Hey, i need some suggestions on what coral would look good as a centerpiece. I'm looking for a good coral to put on the center rock in my tank. I have a biocube 29. I think the toadstool would look nice, but it's already encrusted on the rock and I don't want to bother moving it. So, any ideas? Do you have a centerpiece coral? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Frogspawn, duncan, or hammer coral.

I have a frag of Acropora tortuosa. Nice deep blue with blue/green polyps. Anything that just wows you when you first see it.

Really like the blasto as well tho.

I totally agree, but good luck getting it to stay where you put it!

Anything that sways in the current. Hammer, frogspawn, duncan, fiji leather, toadstool (you already have one). I've noticed that most people that don't know anything about reef tanks love to see these flow in the current and could care less about the fuzzy sticks we all love so much.

Acanthophyllia Deshayesiana
By far the coolest lps out there. I believe it is also the largest single polyp coral out there some single polyps are known to grow over a foot in a diameter!

+1 to that! Just checked and the "small@ ones at LA are 2-3". May not have the swaying or height, but WOW!
