What's the most beautiful LPS?

What your guy's opinion on this, there are only two rules. It must be considered hardy and readily available in the aquarium trade. So lets get this discussion rolling.
 
The open brain corals. I drool over those all the time. For example my avatar. IT is purple and blue with neon spots.
 
A large colony of neon green frogspawn or branching hammer, fully extended and gently swaying in the alternating current!
 
Elegance coral, I love 'em, too bad they are so hard to keep, here's one I used to have :rolleyes:

Lobophyllia are a close second favorite

I have a BEAUTIFUL pinkinsh-orange and white scolymia that extends to almost 8in across, and another orange/green/blue Scoly that has an awesome feeding resp. The big one set me back $250, but I got the multi-color one for only $69.
Will get pictures as soon as possible.
 
Fox corals are my favourite. Much tougher than they look and absolutely gorgeous. Mine is pinkish brown, I'm looking for a green one.
 
I don't know if I could nail it down to just one. They all have their own unique look to them, and with all the color variations that have been coming in lately there are just too many to chose from... So I'll just give you my fav. from my tank... A favitie of some sort..I think..the oragne one on the left..hard to see in the photo, but when it opens up the centers are florecent green..a very nice contrast

But this candy cane is what I get the most comments on and requests for frags...and yes the center are really that green..

I prefer odd colorations over particular species, for example a red and green indo lord can be pretty boring while some of the brighter, more oddly colored morphs can be really mind-blowing (ie: pink & green with purple centers, bright pink etc.)

For color variability I'd agree that micros come in the widest range of colors. They are really bright also so they stand out in a tank.

For a species that has consistent coloration I like metallic green froggie walls and dendros =)
