Button/Star Polyps

[kmart93]

Are button polyps or star polyps a good first coral to start out with?

I started with them and they have been very easy.some current, not a lot and can put they don't have to have the very bright light. Mushrooms and colt coral have been easy for me too, same conditions, maybe a little less current for them.

I got a little patch that I did not even know about as a hitchhiker on a mushroom rock and since then it has been trying to take the rock over.

Star polyps are execelent for a new tank. The only bad thing about them is they can grow quickly. Even over other corals. I just put my star polyps and some encrusting gorgonians against my back glass.. In about 3 months, should not have to clean the back anymore!

They are really easy to take care of. You should be fine. I like them. Waiting for them to start spreading.
