We all sooner or later stock coral in our tank. There is always that one coral in which you say " ONE DAY I WILL HAVE THAT IN MY TANK".

WHAT CORAL IS THAT PRIZED SPECIMEN IN YOUR TANK OR ONE DAY WILL BE ?

Feel free to post pics and even file pics of that dream coral.

I have so many prized coral making it hard to pinpoint just one but 6 years ago I lost this one acro and hope to find it in the future

Im not ashamed to admit, but it did not make it 4 months. There was a point of time where I could not keep an acro alive long term. How times have changed

The willow got me into this hobby. Ive hunted for over 2 years now looking for a specimen like Jakes. I know ill never get the OG one and i am discredited for calling it my holy grail since it is so “famous”. There are plenty of corals that I like more in terms of color or species but something about having the original that pulled me into keeping saltwater is just satisfying

My ORA Purple Stylo. It just grows like crazy.
Ahh, yes. Stylo is pretty and takes off quickly. I got a small frag about 3 moths ago and its now a 4" colony- talk about fast growth !
