Was the same, loved my xenia swaying in the current, didn't think it would happen but have since found SPS to be rather addicting.

SPS all the way. I keep a couple of "dancing" corals to amuse people not impressed with SPS though

SPS mostly for the color, there isn't a lot of color available here and if it does manage to make it through its either immediately put in a store display tank and not for sale or you have to sell your first born to afford it. I found it much easier to get colorful fuzzy sticks as sometimes the brown ones color up nicely. With the advent of australian LPS making it to the west coast (but still not here) there is more available when I make it to the mainland and certainly tempting but I'm sticking with my sps tank (with a few LPS frags here and there).

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.
