What was your first coral?

A toadstool leather that I’m really proud to say I still have 3 years later.

I have only one coral, a green star polyp frag, in my 20 gal tank. It has been there for 3 months. The polyps are open every day but it does not grow larger. There are also four fish and a CUC all doing well. Tank is 6 months old. Parameters test out OK. I hesitate to add more coral without seeing some growth from the GSP. I guess I do not consider the GSP a success since it does not grow.

Don’t discount just keeping a coral alive and healthy! That sounds like success to me! I’ve read quite a few posts and threads here of folks who would love to be able to do just that!

love love love clove polyps

I think they’re beautiful, but I’m so afraid of them taking over my tank!

1st coral was one my sister gave me out of her 90....Kenya or Nepthea tree I'm still not sure to this day and yes it's spread many little babies and the mother coral (I call it) is HUGE.

I read a thread about a reefer who keeps puffers that eat the ‘Bombs’ those Kenyas drop before they can take hold... I would love to have a Kenya myself, but I am worried that they’ll take over my tank! Especially considering I don’t plan to keep any puffers to control them.

Neon green nepthea that I still have....probably 10 years now. It has been fragged down many times since then.

Lights not on yet.

Wow, they really are pretty!

I have a few loose rocks in my tank that I am reserving for corals that tend to spread, so I will definitely be keeping these two on that list!

Thank you for sharing!

Super cool, I'd love to see it with the lights on!

My first coral was a palythoa. Did pretty good until a couple months later I learned it had the potential to be extremely poisonous, and I instantly threw it out.
