whats the nicest coral youve ever lost

[Phil]

A supper nice bleeding apple scolly. Did well for me for three months then melted away. Probably one of the nicest pieces I had. I was lucky I didn't pay a hole lot for it.

Sold my hoeksemai when I shut down my 404. Nicest piece of SPS I've owned. I was extremely lucky to get a piece back when I had my little 28g but I could not keep the frag alive. The original colony has since been lost too. It seemed to be a stable hoek which from what I hear is rare... amazingly blue too.

A, I've got a couple.

1) Purple Poison Shortcake - Lost this just the other day. I have a LED 14g biocube that I've been growing SPS in like weeds, so I figured I'd take the PPSC out of my main tank and stick it in the biocube to see what would happen. Ya, well we had a temp swing, tank hit 84 and the PPSC went kaput.

2) a crazy nice chalice. Don't have a name for it but it wasn't cheap. The frag was on my sandbed while I was rearranging the tank over a few days. My pistol shrimp decided he wanted to get in on the action and rearranged the chalice upside down under a pile of sand... While I was out of town for 2 days. You know the rest...

3) The craziest nice A. plana I have every seen. It had yellows, irridescent greens, electric blues, toxic purples and swirls of electric pink thrown in for good measure. I grew this bad boy into a wicked sized, juicy tabling colony. Came home one day to find it RTNing. Never figured out why...

I've always wanted one, but hesitated due to price.
