One coral type theme tanks

[The Deaf Reefer]

I was curious on what one coral type theme tanks out there

So far I only seen a tank with just gsp covering all the rocks and backwall

And the other theme is the zoa garden

What other single coral type tank out there?

I was thinking of doing a one coral theme tank but not sure what look the best/unique

I have a tank full of different Acropora millipora on my bucket list.

There are many . Such as anemone tanks , zoas ,

I want to do a theme but more of a geological area ( Red Sea , Aussie , indo etc
Only fish and corals from one area

There's a bunch. I just saw a Hammer only tank.

Scoly dominated.

Redsea endemic system would b nice.

Oh man ... can't imagine maintaining that ... they are a picky type of coral right?

Depends on the genotype. Some genotypes can be very sensitive to microbial infections some are pretty tough.

Intraspecific differences in molecular stress responses and coral pathobiome contribute to mortality under bacterial challenge in Acropora millepora - Scientific Reports

Disease causes significant coral mortality worldwide; however, factors responsible for intraspecific variation in disease resistance remain unclear. We exposed fragments of eight Acropora millepora colonies (genotypes) to putatively pathogenic bacteria (Vibrio spp.). Genotypes varied from zero...

A monospecific stand of coral would look much more natural than the usual fruit stand tank.

My buddy had a rock flower anemone dominated tank and it was the nicest tank I've seen. Euphyllia dominated is my personal favorite
