What was the first coral you ever had?

I think it was a Kenya tree but that was over 20 years ago now???

When you are no longer a coral virgin....

Palys. Nothing special, just a basic strain of brown and green ones. Still have a fist-sized colony of them. Second was a singularia and some green zoas. Technically the leather I have now is a cutting of a cutting of that original frag but it's still going strong. The green zoas have become multiple large colonies. I got some xenia and a trumpet at the same time and they are long gone.

I will never forget this one, it was a green hammer coral

Bland $10ish zoa frag that did great for about a year until I mostly fried it with aggressive lighting. (Kinda used it as my lighting experiment subject)
6-8 polyps are still on the side of one of my rocks but not in the best location (after re-scape)

It was either pulsing xenia or green star polyps. I don't recall, but I do still enjoy them both.

Cool that you still have them!

I feel like we all remember the time when we first added something to our tank, whether it is a fish or even coral. I am wondering what was the first coral you ever added to your tank, and is it still around in your tank? Curious to know everyone's input!

A zoa then a Duncan and a Xenia

A rhodactis and a ricordea then a Duncan. Only the rhodactis is still with me
