what kind of corals do you prefer?

[Chaloupa]

I prefer SPS....and when you have good polyp extension...they do "wave" sorta! I love the colors also, you just can't beat it, however I do miss the ease of an LPS or softie tank.....

I am an LPS and soft guy also. I am just setting up 4 Tunze 4055's to run on my profilux so I will have the back and forth wave action. However after taking a stab at SPS and seeing what some others have done. I can say I take my hat off to them.

I must say I prefer LPS and softies for several reasons, but mainly the ease of care. Also, as mentioned, it's very nice to watch corals flow in the current, add's a lot of movement to the tank. I also find LPS take up a nice chunk of space usually.

SPS are lots of fun, but are too much work for me (small system) They sure are cool though. They add awesome colour and structure to the reef tank.. I enjoyed keeping the various kinds I had. Mille's were among some of my favourites. They "danced" at least. SPS are also extremely and strangely fun to watch grow from a 1inch stick to a baseball sized colony... as well as the colour transformations they can take on.

my frogspawn does good in higher flow but not direct current from a powerhead

I like LPS the best. I love the way they look and move. I have 3 different types of hammer corals and two different frogspawn.

I prefer LPS for their movement, as others have said. But the challenge of taking a browned out SPS frag/colony and seeing how it changes is pretty cool to me. That's currently where I'm at: LPS enthusiast, SPS experimentalist.

I would classify myself as an SPS guy but I like them all.

i like to keep SPS mainly because there seems to be way more variety in SPS than in LPS and softies.

Plus I'm a sucker for bright pink coral

After 10 years, I have to say the most rewarding was the LPS. I had some awesome pieces, but I was always motivated to move up. I didn't get the satisfaction out of my sps tank, although I finally got polyps...lol, after a long fought battle with fish...

Now, I am intrigued about some new LPS, the fish I keep don't seem to bother them and the color and LIFE seems there more so.

I to am an SPS guy although I do have a 12X12 none branching Hammer that I would never part with.
