beginners corals

[sturner]

Hi, I'm looking for some "beginners corals" any ideas for a tank that fowlr right now. 29g tall set up almost a year with 40w reg florescent lights and 20w of atinics.(getting ready to get 20w more of atinic) If any of you have some that would do well with this lighting or know someone I'm willing to trade greenbacks :joy:
Livestock:
2 damsels
1 large hermit (4-5") unk. spp.
around 30 red, blue, brown and white legged hermits (cleanup crew)
various snails
2 brittle stars (on the way)
2 pencil urchins (on the way)
lots of rock!!!

Any suggestions? What are the more hardy corals other than shrooms?

Most of your soft corals are very hardy. Start with something like a Kenya tree or some other leathers. Zoo's are also very colorful and easy to keep. IMO

urchins are known to eat soft corals

 

[sturner]

Is this always the case? or only sometimes? I got the urchins to help with the algae. It said to monitor with corals. :notsure: Maybe they were a mistake???

Pencil urchins are normally reef safe

I have octobubbles, leather, maneaters, and shrooms for sale. Let me know what you want.

zoos and xenia,
all aquiculture corals are easy to grow also

kenyas, xenias, all grow very fast and are low maintenence. Zoanthids come in every color formation available and are easy too. Mushrooms, and some LPS are pretty easy too.
