Best corals to me are Acans and micros. I go through phases though. 6 months ago the best corals to me are zoos/palys. In a few months i'll be saying sps.

Wow, I have so many favorites, but maybe the most spectacular one is my Elegance Coral, but I agree with hammer or frogspawn also, here is a pic of my elegance coral, I also have a plate coral that I love just as much

How long have u had your elegance? I was scared to get one because everyone says thier hard to keep. But that is one of my favorites, also i like sun corals.

I have had mine for about 3 months, I have also heard of them being hard to keep, my lfs has had one in his display tank for 8 or 9 months now and it is doing great, so I thought it was time to take that chance. I have had no problems with it so far, it seems very happy and they are very nice.

Don't get a sun coral they don't come out when the lights are on. You have to train them to come out with the lights on. Get a dendro or balano instead they are always out. Make sure you feed them though or they will die.
