CORALS list (in your 12GAL nano tank)

[curiousnano]

Can you please give me the names of the CORALS you have in your NANO 12GALLON?
(I am not sure about the ENGLISH names. Please list them in a full words. Thanks a million)

hi, so for starters you can have any sort of polyps, and mushrooms, some people would debate on xenia but its up to you, after thoes, you can add leathers and others. wait a while before adding lps's or even sps, if you decide to. i have a torch and a hammer (about 1 inch heads) in my 10g. but these lsp's needs lighting and near perfect water conditions.

Right now I have Pulsing Xenia, zoanthids, ricordia and frogspawn. Tomorrow I'm picking up some green star polyps, watermellon mushrooms, capnella, and possibly a toadstool and orange cap montipora.
I still hope to get a couple more LPS - candy cane, pearl bubble, maybe an open brain. Also, I'd like some more ricordia.

It depends on how big the corals are and how the rock in your tank is setup. Obviously you need to have enough ledges and nooks for all the corals, but sure... it can be done.
LPS - Large Polyp Stoney... it's a general classification of hard corals.
SPS - Small Polyp Stoney... another classification of hard corals.
