I think about the long term answer. What would be more satisfying/captivating/interactive to my personality, corals for sure. I think if I had a bigger tank and able to keep bigger fish, it might make it tougher of a choice. I do like the fish, a lot! I just get a kick out of this little stick glued to a plug going into my tank and turning into something else. Hopefully that something else is coral growth! I love the variety and similarity that corals can have but yet the wild colors! Someday, I will have a wild colored scoly! someday...
