I think someone posted this earlier but I'm not going to lie, I don't want to shift through all the pages and possibly miss a new coral being posted for sale... So my question is: what are the best beginner friendly SPS? I've read that pavona are a good choice but what else?
seriatopora, pocillopora, and stylophora, pavona followed by things like montipora

I mostly agree with this list. But birds nest can be a bit finicky. For me at least. It doesn’t like too new of a tank or a lower nutrient environment.

No response on a coupon for the break? Lol. Was debating on that cotton candy torch hehe
That cotton candy looks awesome and would be mine if I had not promised the wife I would stick to my budget. I'm lucky to be able to participate this weekend.

Sorry no additional coupons during sale event, as everything is already discounted.
There may be additional select mark downs after the sale event, depending on stock/availability etc. Thanks for understanding
