Do you pick favorites?
 
I can't help it.. I pick favorites... Out of everything we've bought and owned in our tank so far:

Favorite coral: My lime green and red brain coral. This guy this is so cool and fun to feed. I like how he's more challenging than the others corals we've owned so far. Sure we are still learning and brains are considered relatively easy to keep but this guy helped me build a bit of confidence about the whole coral keeping endeavor.

Favorite livestock: The cleaner shrimp. We have two but the first one is my favorite. He's got such an awesome personality and I feed him by hand every night. He expects it by now and is always waiting at the top of the tank by 8 pm for me. I like him even more than our fish. He's always out and about and whenever we approach the tank he rushes up to the front and shows off for us.

So... who are your favorites?

my fav fish would have to be my powder blue.....I had the worst luck with these fish....I had tried and failed a number of times with "powder" tangs...so many times in fact that I had said that I wouldnt try one again......until, a customer brought the one I have now in to the shop when he shut his tank down.....the fish was in excellent health and was perfect, not a blemish on him.....Ive had him for about a year now and he is by far the most active and playful fish in my tank......


fav coral is my aussie scoly.....because, well, its gorgeous:mrgreen:

Hard to tell from the pic but how big is he? He's beautiful :eek:

I definitely have. My Bariene Tang is by far the favourite in my tank. I've made all other livestock purchases around the one fish. It's the reason I only have one tang in my tank, so that he doesn't have any stress.

My favorite coral WAS my large blue tip acro colony, but it's recently seen some rough times :(.

My fave corals so far are my first 3, frog spawn, button and metallic green bubble. Got them in august and they've gotten huge!

Fave fish is my solar wrasse. Very active, swims to me when I come to the tank and rubs against my hand when I'm in the tank.

My cleaner shrimp freak me out...lol
