Can you have too many corals?

[jw1977]

Our LFS was a having a coral frag sale and my wife went crazy. She came home with 9 coral frags. A few brain, a bubble, a few zoas, a leather, and one acan, there was also an acropora. I have a 46 gallon tank that's been up for a year. Is this bad to add all these at once? Also, I'm no coral expert so I'm not sure what lighting these all need. I have a Nova Extreme Pro, so I think I have enough light but where should I place these in my tank. What needs the most light, what needs the least?
Also, what and how often do i need to feed these coral?

it shouldnt matter adding all of them at once, just wach your levels and do a water change after adding them after a day maby just in case, the acro maby ok just put him middle to high so he gets alot of light and they need alot of flow2 to, and the other corals should be ok, make shore you test the calcium as well and keep that nice and stable

The brain and leathers should be placed on the sand bed. As for the bubble coral, I had mine on a rock and it did OK, but when I put it on the sand, it really started growing and seems to really like it there. The zoas can go on the bottom. Even when my zoa colonies have split and spread around the tank by themselves, they still seem to like living lower down in the tank.
As for feeding your new corals, let them get acclimated to your tank for awhile before feeding them. I feed my corals once or twice a week week with a mix of cyclo, Coral Frenzy, and some Prime Reef. A lot of people make their own food, there are a number of recipies out there. I think less is probably better with corals since with good lighting, they really don't have to be fed but IMO they do respond to being fed.
