Good video it made me think. Thanks for doing that. I think way to much emphasis is put on what corals others would like and not what you want in your own tank. If the internet did not exist and we did not have places to show off our tanks I think many people’s tanks would look way different. I have done that myself, getting something to show off and not getting what I really wanted because it’s not that “cool” in the reefing community. I find as I mature as a reefer my tastes do change. I never really liked SPS because there is not much movement but I have found some that do indeed move like hairy mille’s and have been getting a nice collection. And then there is the draw of keeping something alive that should not be able to in a tank and out of the ocean, most enjoy that challenge more than what It looks like.

It’s crazy the social media world we live in sometimes... ‍
