I count 38 in my 20 g nano. All coral going forward goes on the sand bed, maybe a scoly next

Waterbox 70.2 system.
I have:
Frammer
Palythoa
Green Goni

and also two rock flower anemones and a dying bubble tip. I’m currently looking for a better light for the BTA, and to help my current frags to grow better. The palythoas are the only one I’d consider no longer a frag.
 
I have around 50 different kinds, but multiple frags/colonies of many ..... so probably 150. Tank is a 450.
 
I have 11 in my 75 gal main DT none in any of the other tanks. ten different types with two colts that were once one.
full disclosure: i have lost one greenish colt and a zoa due to heck-if-I-know syndrome
 
In my 20 gallon I had 3 species, just because I was overseas for a year, a leather coral. Palythoa, and about 10 ricordeas by the time I had to take it down to move, all my live stock went to a local reefer who was super happy, and I knew was gunna take care of everything. Now im mid move back to the west coast and gumma get a getting a plan to finally start my wb 85.3
 
Truly amazing the number of coral variety available to reef keepers today. I have been reef keeping for more than 35 years.. Back in the day the options were very limited and few!
 
Just one small toadstool leather (Sarcophyton) and one Tube Anemone (Cerianthus membranaceous) in my 75-gallon FOWLR without a sump.
These came in the aquarium when I purchased it from a coworker a month ago. The fish include 3 triggerfish, so I am wary of adding more corals right now.

...though I am planning a 90-gallon reef with 40-gallon mangrove bay and 75-gallon sump and refugium right now that will include many more corals.
 
I was inspired by this thread but wanted to make this an official QOTD with a poll so here we go!

So in order for this to make sense we need to know 2 things:

1. How many corals (including frags) do you have in your main display tank?

2. What's the size of your main reef tank display?

Never really counted but for an 8 month old tank I think it looks pretty good

This isn't the best picture but I have about 16 corals and 2 anenomes. My green BTA is slowly shrinking though because it's host fish passed away a number of months ago and none of the new ones will host him, sadly. I have been feeding him 3 times a week but he is not growing at all ;-(
Anyway, 75 gallon tank. I have only ben in the hobby 16 months. Tank has undergone 3 huge moves and hopefully no more in the near future unless I get my "dream tank".
