Happy Birthday - What should we buy?

[ChrisKSB]

Don't know how this works...hopefully I do it right!

In nine days it will be our tanks first birthday. Currently have two clowns, two azure damselfish, one royal gramma, one elegance coral and a good sized CUC. Looking to add a Euphelia... Can't make up my mind, first choice for me was a hammer! Thought I would take the decision out of my own hands and see what others like!

I like torches myself — be aware that your clowns might be really attracted to them though. Mine live in mine.

I'd go hammer...a little cheaper to stomach if something goes wrong in the tank. Then if tank remains successful and you have the euphillia thing figured out, then torch.

It's a lovely tank.... love all of the two tone fish! I vote torch so you get some beautiful flow, and more than one color. There are some stunning torches with brightly colored tips. It will pop! Happy tankiversary!!

Clowns are weird. Mine lives in a waving hand Xenia.

Hammer Time!

Personally, I like the look of hammers, but that is pure observation. I am in the early stage of setting up my tank and have zero actual experience with them.

I'm addicted to hammers so thats my vote! If you like euphyllia then you can keep hammers and frogspawn together but a torch can sting both so the hammer or frogqspawn would give you more flexibility. If not a hammer than a duncan coral would be my next pick!

I will say that frogspawn is being left out here! That stuff has insane polyp extension, and is quite nice looking too!

Can't go wrong with any of them. I always have liked the traditional red hammer.

WOW...Hammer wins, and I hope I can find one like that second pic!!!

Oops...I ordered two! Trying @Corals.com

More of the reds have been coming in lately. Here is another green one I picked up.

Ok I'm going a little off the reservation here than the others but hear me out.... 1 year? That's a victory btw. My vote is for Bubble coral. You have tons of room based on images for it's tentacles at night. It's easy care for mostpart, and looks imo gorgeous on a reef. So there lol...
