Im a fan of hammers and frogspawns. Dont have any yet, but soon! Looking forward to seeing all these pics!!

A very easy choice to make for me, I love these guys and they are getting harder and harder to fine. They seem to be seasonal now with the suppliers.

Dendrophyllia (Dendro)

BigAl, thanks for using my photo of the Red Planet. My tank is a mix of soft, LPS and SPS. The Red Planet is my favorite of the SPS. Love the color!

I love most SPS species, specially Acros, I think they give a eye pleasure because of their colors and shapes.

My favorites are the ones you can see actually eating their dinner. My ruby red blastomussa is my favorite. Duncans and acans are pretty close second.
