oh i dont know.....can i ask for all of them please....

Each and every coral can be stunning imo if its in the right location. I do have a penchent for thick branching shallow water Humilus though.. Another group i like are the sooty's. Rarely seen, but very nice in thier own way...(usually A.loripes) with a cream/white body but nearly black (sooty) coralites. A very nice contrast imo to the more gaudy Sp.

And Bottle brush acro's...mmmmmmm...very nice indeed.

Si.

My favourite type of SPS is acropora, over any other SPS.

My favourite acro, are smooth skin acropora, ones with less polyps (aka bottle brush, deep water acros etc).

A nice a.granulosa or a.loripes looks superb, as does a.enchinata, a multiacuta, a suharsoni and so on.

This yellow smooth smooth skin acro which I have in my tank (and I love it) is one of my favourites although I'm still not 100% sure on the I.D.

That said, I love all acropora, stag horn types, cluster types, hairy, tables, plating etc....

And then there's all the other types of SPS which are also breath taking, some of the stylos are awesome, and then there's the.......... Oh I'll shut up, my nerd/train spotter side is coming out now :lol:
