Coral suggestions???

[rickybutler]

Hi everyone I am fairly new to the salt business and completely new to coral (just got my first coral 3 days ago!!!). I loved the hammer frag and green ricordea shroom I have in my biocube 14 with 40lbs of LS, 17lbs of LR, 11 blue legged hermits, 7 turbo snails, 1 fire shrimp, 2 ocellaris clowns, and 1 firefish. I just had a couple questions. Do these corals add to the bioload of my tank? Any suggestions of cool looking easy-moderate care corals for my tank? (meaing stock biocube lighting and no need to add any supplements just weekly 3 gal water changes) Thanks!

I have the same tank (as well as others). You can keep just about anything except SPS under stock lighting, I even have a clam and a rose bubble tip anemone (not that I recommend you do either if you're knew to corals, just saying it can be done).
Easy corals to consider: Mushrooms, Torch, Candycane, Trumpets, Zoanthids (Zoos), Polyps, Lobophyllia, Favia, Acans... Just get frags and let them grow
Water quality shouldn't be an issue if you're doing weekly water changes.

Thanks! Just the answer I was looking for, my LFS has torch frags and frogspawn and I wanted either one or the other which would be easier? Thanks again!
