PPE's and Pink Elephants were my first corals.

lime zoos and green, pink tipped frogspawn! love my spawn...had to frag it numerous times =)

a green ric

singel blue mushroom that I paid $10 for

Actually my first invert was a BTA with a host anemone crab 5 years ago. The BTA is three times the size today but he has a new anemone crab.

Plus I thought mushrooms aren't really coral. If they can count mushrooms then I can count my BTA

My first were some purple and pink zoas. Beautiful I must say.

5 green striped shrooms. they're leaving my little 8gal biocube soon because im multiplying them to completely cover the rockwork in my 60gal FOWLR... needless to say this project will take me a while!

i thought we included anems as "coral"? technically shrooms are a type of anemone. BTA, is an obvious one. i dont see why we would exclude the condy. i think the term "coral" is much too broad to be used lightly... i mean how can we classify an anem and an acropora in the same category? shrug.

Bubble coral for me...yep its still alive.

My first was a tangerine ricorea florida

Same here I got a frag of short tentacle metallic green star polyps, not they almost cover the entire rock I put them on!

Mine was three different shrooms. Still have some of them after all these years.

Yellow polyps and eagle eyes zoas I remember I was so happy lol

mine was a Fine Grape Frogspawn. 3 heads for $30. Now only one head survives.

I bought several things at once for my first corals. I got some GSP, some green zoanthids, and a blue ric.

I don't remember either ...........

I think I started out with GSP and some zoas.

Candy Cane! It was 5 head in the $20 tank at the LFS. I found out why. 1 head has a barnicle on it & is a pain to feed. I still love them.

unintentionally a rock with some brown\green paly's. intentionally a rock with half a dozen shrooms.

Xenia. But I was feeding some aptasia at the time thinking I had a real steal. Boy was I wrong.

PPE blasto's

Theres no SPS category

I started off with one baby red mushroom that was growing on the live rock that i first setup my tank with. You wont believe how much is in my tank now. Lets just say i received about 150 dollars worth of credit from my LFS (local fish store) for the amount I gave them.

shrooms, some Brown and green ones.

-1 blue mushroom (has since turned in to three)

- small rock of zoas. started off with maybe 4 of one type, and maybe 8 of another. now there's probably 15 of one type, and 30+ of the other.

I started with a small frag of reverse gorrila nipple zoas, they look a mess now though, then i went onto duncans and then it was trumpet coral! Have not got anything after that yet lol

ZOOS!

my first ones are multiplying and looking really nice still.

A $10 mushroom frag. Looked greenish in the store but when I got home it was kinda brown.

omg zombie threads christ.

frogspawn

Zoas from Chazde.


Brad

Frogspawn. After six months, now the colony is too big for my 24g...and it's sending out feelers to sting the neighbors, so it needs room. Gonna have to frag it or trade it.

I got a hairy mushroom, and I was so excited. I don't have it anymore though.

zoas

Star polyps. Of course, even then I knew they'd be a weed.

Mine 2 except only after 5 months

My first corals were a Kenya Tree and Green Clove Polyp added at the same time.

a green ric but also bought a frogspaw..i mean who doesnt?

does a ricordea count as a mushroom?

pipe organ, got it yesturday

SHROOMS!

Got a frogspawn the very first day. Did excellent for months until I traded him!

xenia

hobgoblin zoas

i got really cool lava mushrooms

A couple mixed zoa rocks donated by a friend. Brown polyps that glow green under actinic.

My first "coral" was a green mushroom. My first true coral was a candy cane.

My first coral was a hydnophora.

whammin watermelon zoas! (:

Frogspawn and after 6 yaears I still have it .....not all of it but frags happen.

my first was a red mushroom, followed by radioactive green zoas
my first stony was a hammer coral

I guess I'm an odd one. A cyphastrea that was a throw-away from another person's tank. Got it before I even had a CuC
