Imagine you were able to make a brand-new species of coral what would you want it to be like? Maybe you want an acro with these fancy colors on it or a new type of Monti with a unique look to it etc.. Curious to see what everyone says!

This is the way.I want something that could bioluminenscence.
That goes a Lil past the biology test I failed todayProbably would be straightforward to do!
… in Aiptasia
Microinjection to deliver protein, mRNA, and DNA into zygotes of the cnidarian endosymbiosis model Aiptasia sp.
One that doesn't consume alk, cal, mg...

I have long dreamed of luminescent corals... Did you know it’s now a reality for plants? You can buy them here! I bought a couple, eagerly awaiting shipment
There are some soft corals (octocorals) that can, actually - sea pansies (Renilla spp.) for example, are bioluminescent (they're tough to come by in the hobby these days, but they have been kept before); sea pens (another kind of octocoral) are also bioluminescent, but they're much more difficult to keep by all accounts that I've heard.You could probobly genetic modyfy a coral to have some luminescent gene or something.
Use xina as a test coral.
That prism effect is awesome!I have this!! …for about five minutes on select sunny mornings
Sadly you can't find any of thoes for sale.There are some soft corals (octocorals) that can, actually - sea pansies (Renilla spp.) for example, are bioluminescent (they're tough to come by in the hobby these days, but they have been kept before); sea pens (another kind of octocoral) are also bioluminescent, but they're much more difficult to keep by all accounts that I've heard.
For me, though, I think I'd go with a something like an Acanthophyllia that can move and reproduce via budding.
Edit: Might as well make it bioluminescent too.
