Lets do something controversial.... whats the best LPS VOTE #2

[Reefkeepers Archive]

If you haven't seen my previous thread, what were doing is systematically voting which LPS is the all time favorite in the R2R group, last vote was between scolymia and cynarina, with scolymia being more popular (which I personally disagree with) this vote is between 2 euphyllia, which was a requested vote.

Love to hear your thoughts!

Frogspawns are actually Fimbriaphyllia, not Euphyllia.

My bad, is the euphyllia group only torches then?

Torches all the wayyyyyyy.
I still love frogspwan though but Torches are more wavy.

I think so. Torch wins by default. Next survey?

Yeah, only torches; however, E. baliensis and E. paraglabrescens, which could be considered hammers, are still classified in the genus due to lack of genetic data and the rarity of those two species, although they are most likely actually in Fimbriaphyllia based on their tentacle morphologies.

 

[i cant think]

My tanks say otherwise but frogspawn is my favourite as it looks like a hellfire anemone (which is my favourite anemone due to them being white/pale and not bleached).

Not yet, there is an exactly 50/50 tie between the two

Torches!

But I also have a wall hammer whom I love.

Cool threads!

Thank you! They'll be more to come, planning on going through every (or at least the most I can) LPS species, there's a new vote every day!

This is a hard one, I love them all but without hesitation, torches for the win.

Wall torches?? Is there such a thing? I thought they were all branching.. I’ve been out the game so long there’s no telling what’s what any more haha!

I did research before, apparently they are!

Interesting… don’t believe I’ve seen one.. I have several myself but ya know… these days it’s $509 a head and everyone owns a single head haha! Maybe I own one and don’t even know it..

I think I have one that I purchased from my lfs. I did some research and came to the conclusion that wall torches didn’t exist. But this one is so odd. I irritated it so it would retract so I could show its base. Truly looks like a wall.

I didn’t know this either. I never saw a wall torch.

I mean…. Maybe? Lol not common if so… my pinched heads resemble this..

 

[CasperOe]

Oh, the torches! If I ever were to have a coral type specific tank (apart from the ones i already have ) it would be torches!

Something like that is what I've seen, might just be a weird growth pattern on specific populations. Even so, that would definitely be a fun thing to keep
