I am going to have to agree with Krazy on this one and say the toadstool, but my other favorite is also the cabbage leather.



sorry for the not so great pics, these are when i first go them.

the cabbage has grown tremendously since then.

thanks jim, they are great!

I had some problems with bleaching when i first got it, but now i have it back on track, and everyday it expands to twice its size!

It has been growing a lot in the past few weeks, and is about to attatch itself onto an adjacent rock.

My favorite is the Chili cactus coral, my sensitive softie who brightens the corner where he is. Which is a good slogan for happiness... "Brighten the corner, where you are"

Jessi,I understand your excitement with the sun coral... alias orange cup corals, but I think they are hard corals, lps, (large polyp stoney) I too, love mine and find it very interesting to hand feed. If you feed it regularly with the proper nutrition, and conditions are right, they do appear to be softies, with their tentacles and tubes swaying in strong, alternating current.


Yes, I think we all have more than one favorite. My second favorite is the Christmas tree coral... I got it this past March, and am wondering how I am going to decorate it for it's first Christmas season coming up this December... Any suggestions?

Jesse, Sorry to hear about your sun coral not making it.
I have had to feed almost nightly, to have it reproduce. It eats carnivorous practically 100 % target fed with turkey baster, usually at night, when its polyps come out. Also can easily get burned from intense light and prefers deeper aquariums or caves.

My christmas tree coral is not expanding as well. Only about a third of what it used to. Maybe it got scared when I said I was going to decorate it for it's first chrsitmas. Happy harvest everyone, that includes harvesting from our reef gardens...
