Corals, fish and clams are my weaknesses!

Anemones, maybe a close second would be clams. And I fully blame Michika for the clams affliction BTW.

To a lesser degree equipment too. At least fantasizing about a lot of it. "Ooooh what a pretty reactor." These words just aren't spoken in other hobbies.

That was thought provoking...None of the above. What possesses me doesn't seem to be any of those things in particular. I think it is possibly just a wonder of the ocean's life and the interaction of that life in general.

I think my ultimate fantasy would be to have a great big window looking into a well lit part of the ocean where anything might show up if you looked long enough. You would probably see something that no one else has ever seen before, just because you took the time to look carefully.

I voted for all 4 because I'm guilty of splurging excessively on any or all at least once in the past.

I would have to say all of the above.
But I will say photography as I am still setting up my tank.
