Smart reefing: Which type of brain coral do you prefer?

I did enjoy my trachy from a while ago.

Australophyllia wilsoni

Not sure what species. It's about 2' in diameter now, and it might be needing another brain coral transplant...I've had it for over 10 years now, from when it was just a wee lad.

I assume mine are favia but will have to check a little deeper. The one thing I have always wanted is to get that large round, mound-shaped coral that mimics what I have seen in the wild. Both of mine have this appearance now though it certainly takes a long time. One I have had since it was a small frag (~11 years, unnamed, I think) on a plug and it's now about 8" x 4" x 4" and the other is more of a ball, about the size of a softball (~6 years, Mia's pot of gold). I'll see if I can get some decent pics...

Is that a crack in the glass or a coral thing?

Oh!IThat's bad handling by myself to paste film on the front glass to filter blue light...

Platygyra and favias are currently my favorites, but that may change :3
