My favorite is anything that lasts more than a month in my tank!

But by far I would have to say Acropora secale. Beautiful purple body with green tips.

It's a sun coral. They are more difficult than the average coral to keep, but can thrive if they are spot feed and taken care of correctly.

I am leaning toward my big toad, all in all I love watching the "hairs" in the current and because it is such a center of attention. Second is my cabbage. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...t/55gal027.jpg

My favorite is the porites in front of the ricordea in this pic, because it came in as a volunteer on some live rock and Ive got 3 frags off it already. Its brown with bright green centers.

My "in general" favorite would be a green montipora cap.

Do I have to own it to be my fav cause the favorite that I own is Ponape Birdsnest Coral, but if I were to pick one that I would love to own but don't it would be Jedi Mind Trick, Vivid Tri-Colored Acropora or Red Planet Table Acropora.
