24g AquaPod Question on Corals

[chris_44]

Hey everyone, I just started up my aquapod 24g almost 2 months ago. After the tank cycled I waited a week and got some zoos at my LFS due to being very easy. I wanted to find out what corals I could currently have with just stock lighting. My LFS just said because of my stock lightning I can only really have zoos abd musrooms. I want something that will really stands out. I liked the Green Ricordea on this site but was afriad to get because of what I was told. Help please.

You can have more coral... I currently use the lighting that came with my biocube

you can look and see what corals I keep. I think bonebrake uses stock lighting and he has a lot of beautiful corals so you can also take a look at his thread.
Just make sure you stick with softies.

What do you recommend? Can I have Mushroom Polyp - Green Ricordea with stock lightning? List some so I can take it to my LFS Thanks

you can have any ricordea you want!!! I love ricordeas... I would make a ricordea tank if I had the money! they are low light corals.
some other corals you could keep include...
cat eye
candy canes
trumpets
plate coral ( when your tank matures)
fox coral
torch coral
xenia
gorgonians
sun coral ( wouldn't recommend for a beginner but they require no light)
green star polyps
daisy polyps
clove polyps
all mushrooms
zoos
Those are what popped into my mind!!! you can have almost all soft corals and a majority of LPS.
