What is the most exotic / alien coral that you’ve seen?

Wow that thing is amazing! Is it commonly available?

Yes they are commonly available for less than 100$ for 2” frags

I found one similar to the one you liked. It will cost about 150$

A cheaper alternative that is way cool, easy and grows like a weed

Neon Green Branching Hydnophora Coral

WYSIWYG – you will receive the exact piece shown. All frag plugs are 3/4" - 1" unless otherwise stated.

Good suggestion.

One thing I forgot about pectinia is it needs lots of space and has huge stinging sweepers that come out at night

This Goni I saw at an LFS was pretty alien like

The hydno has a bad sting but no sweepers

this big puffy indo creeps me out slightly with alien vibes at times

This hydnophora has been a peaceful member of my tank.

Until yesterday. I came home and it had fired hundreds of deadly worm like tendrals of poison or whatever that crap was at an acroproa 6 inches away. It completely engulfed 1/3 of the colony in just a few hours
I wish I had thought to take a photo of the assault.

By the way, this thing likes nitrates more than my acroproa. I'll probably never buy one again. But they are really cool when the skin puffs up.

My 2.5” scoly randomly attacked a 8” gold acantho after both being in the same spot for weeks

I got a photo too. Sent out the filaments randomly one night and I had to move it elsewhere

That is one bright goni!

Rock flower anemones eating I would say is one of the craziest things to watch.
