What is your favorite coral in your tank?

I am going with my Scripps millie.  Pretty, fast grower, and it seem that nothing seems to bother it.  During my "dark days" during the summer it clugged along like nothing was wrong.
I love the big tabling look.
Day one after mounting (got it from Bullet BTW)

A few random pics.

heh. my xenia and cespitularia.... im square like that.

 

My current favorite.  Little LPS hitchhiker.

 

What is that Ryan?

 

I don't know. That's the one I was telling you about earlier.  All I know is that it's non-photosynthetic (it was on the underside of a lobophyllia colony for a couple years) and the skeleton looks like a dendrophylliidae.  'Cept it's little at the moment.

 

I just spent a few minutes looking at my tank inhabitants and trying to decide which I liked the best or rather, what would make me the saddest if I suddenly lost it.
I have far too many favorites to pick just one but today I would have to say I love my Lobo.  It's color is really striking and you can see it from across the room.  It eats like a pig and opens it mouth with any hint of food in the tank.

Strong runner-ups would be every single one of my acans, the pink chalice that positively glows (from Ben) , and my pipe organ coral.

Does it eat and does it have a skeleton?

 

Yes, you'd be able to see the skeleton if it wasn't full of cyclopeeze in the photo /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

 

It kind of reminds me of a dendro but I don't think they come in that coloration.

 

I think we've officially hijacked the thread.

My long-standing favorite coral is this chalice, which originally looked like this



then died back to almost nothing (maybe three little nubs of living flesh) and has come back as this

My guess would be a Dendro too. There are a few that stay very small. Where was your rock from? And how long did it take to pop up or be noticed?  It could also be a form of Rhizotrochus Typus

 

Here's a oldie but a goodie

It's Culicia tenella, for those interested.  Little Australian coral that evidently is really only referenced in Veron's book.  It stays tiny, and from the 1 or 2 pictures I managed to find of it on the web I'm not sure if it will ever divide. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif

 

That was always one of my favorites too Covey. I liked it because it would be a different color if you looked at from the top or through the front glass. It was always hard for people to buy that one when they came over to buy frags...which was fine with me. My next tank will be starfire!

 

Sweet I knew you couldn't stay out. he he.

You've got to throw some of your old pics up to show the newbies what they are missing.
