That is tough to say "one" absolute favorite.  However, my favorites are my red / green trachyphyllia, red / green blastos, red / green favia, agent orange acans, blue / red acans & LA Lakers monti and red monti.   As you can see I like a lot, sorry.  Acans and trachyphyllia are my most favorite.

Oh, and my blue haddoni is on the top of the list too.

My suncoral is my favorite by far. Anytime I stick my hands in the tank it come out thinking it's going to get fed. It is the only coral that when I seen it I had to have it. I have seen corals I like but nothing that I just had to have.

my favoritte coral that I own is my peach Lokani. I was lucky enough to pick this up as a no name sps coral and later on the guy told me that it is a peach lokani. I have looked this up on the internet and although it is hard to find pictures of this, that is exactly what it is. I got this as a 1/2" frag and now I have a nice mini colony. I still cant find the nerve to frag this just yet, but it is a very nice and as far as I can find a rare coral in the hobby.

I love alot of corals, and like Brian, Whichever is my newest I seem to like the most....

I tend to favor all LPS, With Plates(purple) and Hammer being among my favs... I also do love the blastos, but can never seem to get my hands on a quality specimen.

Life is a beach, I'm just playing in the sand.

Boon,

How about these Blastos?  I think I've only seen these one other time over the years.
