Noted! Now on "the list".

Another pink one I love is Cultivated Reef Daisy Dukes:

They have brown skirts, but their pink disks have an interesting metallic sheen.

Are they all palys?

@JoJosReef You have stunning zoas. May I ask what the zoas are called that are circled in red? They are absolutely stunning!

I would have my tank full of zoas if they didn't have paly toxin, but because of that I haven't kept them. They are so incredibly stunning, but I am just so worried about paly toxin, especially because the tank is in my room right next to my bed.

Since we are talking about zoas

More yellow! Those are so bright through a screen. They must be unbelievable in person!

Those two are palys, yes.

I suppose I should share, if I'm going to haunt this post...

The oldest... The one that started it all.

My current favorite- even before I just discovered (and feed) his new babies!

I ALSO love coral!

What is the name of this beauty?

That is my orange funghia plate. It sits in the center of the sand bed zoa garden that wasn't supposed to me a sand bed garden. Were supposed to go up on the rocks but I couldn't decide where everything was meant to go. So the frags stayed tossed about in the sand. Then they grew all over their plugs, and now they are mini islands.

Mine is in my bedroo

Thanks. It has fragged 5 times, could use it again.... Want one? It's the first "big girl" coral I added when I was starting out, so I'm always proud of that one.

If you look closely, you'll see it also likes to (try to) reach out and touch its neighbors.

Each coral I pick is because it stands out to me in some way. They are all favorites!

Thanks for the offer! I am not too sure about where I'd put it. I'll keep thinking about it though!

Oh my gosh! So beautiful! I love the pictures of the corals with their feeder tentacles out!

That looks yellow to my wife and that's enough for me to have it lol

Sorry .. 1st and 3rd pic

And the one with the blowing goni, what is the yellow light around the edge? How do you get that effect. (And the green something in the sand?)

Let me know if you are asking about different ones

Pic 1 - tinkerbell gonipora. Seller went Mia on me and disappeared. I’ve emailed asking if he has more, I don’t get any response. Here is a pic in daytime with full extension

Pic 3
Dragon soul favia I grew from 1 polyp

“Blowing Goni with yellow on edge”
This is a iron man Goni. The yellow on the edge is natural

“Jabba the hut”
This is a 24k gold acanthophyllia. It’s 7” across and 2.5” tall. When it’s fully inflated during the day it’s a monster coral lol. It looks even better under whites because the accents in the mouth show better

“Green something in sand”
I’m guessing my green Acanthophyllia. It’s 6” across and 2” tall. Next to it is a orange/teal acanthophyllia

Also forgot about this Goni

I always have this in my systems.
Jacko lepto one of my all time favaorite coral and my systems are mostly sticks, lol.
I picked up this golf ball size one from lfs.
The plan is for my new system is to look similar to my old 120. Lots of colorful sticks this time too.
3rd pic is my old Jacko in my 120.
