We all know there is a huge array of corals out on the market, probably one for every taste. But, what is it that that makes you the most excited about a particular coral? Is it the color/pattern of color, growth pattern, etc. Please vote in the poll and let us know what your favorite coral is, even if you don't own it.
 
The over all look of it. I see a lot of chalices that look great as a colony but as a one eye frag it is very bland.

I like colors that pop!
 
It used to be all about color for me. Lately the SPS bug has bit me and growth pattern has become as important as color
 
Sps doesn't really appeal to me as much as lps and softies. With that being said, my vote is color and size.....
 
I am partially color blind and there are many color shades that I don't see so I look for bright, true colors. There are probably many pleasantly colored corals that I pass on because I can't see the colors they contain.
 
color w/growth running a very close second.
 
I just look for pieces that will look great in my tank. I look to add diversity and a new dimension to my tank.
 
cant just pic one... color and growth form! color matters allot but if I cant fit it in or around my other corals I cant get it
