What Centerpiece would you buy?

[kookerson]

Maybe Im lame for asking, but Ive got $100 in store credit at the LFS and am looking for a nice LPS for a center piece......what do you guys think? They said that they can order anything, so Im looking for ideas.........

 

[simion3]

an elegance or maybe a nice scoly

 

[currentking]

elegance. That makes a great centerpiece. Look at mine

 

[PoukieBear]

Do some research on elegance corals first, they tend to be hard to keep in captivity.

Hmmm...

For a $100 your not going to get a show Aussie Acan colony as I would have suggested, but if you like leathers, go with a nice large Yellow Fiji!

Elegance Corals have a bad reputation scarred into my head......so I dont think I will ever spend money on one......

 

[chrisstie]

If it were me I'd go for a scolymia or maybe a nice colored chalice

 

[JJ21]

maybe a nice, big ultra green frogspawn?

No brainer - elegance coral
The current aussie elegance corals that many lfs are importing have no health issue.

I can't say I agree with that totally. The Aussie Elegance seem to be a little more light tolerant but are still just as prone to tissue damage and necrosis leading to a sometimes quick demise.

If you like Euphyllia's, go with a nice big neon wall hammer, easier to care for in my opinion.

Personally, I like would get some frog spawn/hammer.

 

[seapug]

I'd go with a really nice Scolymia (red or marbled are my personal favs).

An assortment of choices:

Large bubble
Large orange Lobophyllia
Large Favid coral

I would do a Scoly....or maybe a Lobophyllia a brain would pretty cool aswell
