I love that neglecta! I have always loved shrooms, and that one is a real stunner. Nice to see a West Indian coral getting on the top 3 as well.

Each pick was really beautiful! I personally love the Cyphastrea for its uniqueness, length of time in captivity, and the added bonus that it is really affordable for many reefers to enjoy. Checks off the most boxes for me.

I’d have to go with the neglectus. These are actually the 2 vendors I ended up buying from at the show. Didn’t get any of the prize winners but they had amazingly healthy corals.👍

@johnbrand1893 Ай бұрын

Amazing corals, third place looks like male seed racing towards the egg (different colour obviously) but all three I’ve never seen before, just awesome corals. 👍

6:29 that is actually a Dipsastraea (former Favia), not a Favites. The reason why it looks subcerioid is because of deformation from captivity.
