do I want zoanthids?

[pcircle85]

I've never had coral and I hear zoanthids are a good place to start.
Have a 10 gallon tank, 40 watts total lighting 10,000k/Actinic combo, 20lbs LR, 10lbs LS, two small powerheads alternating current.

Great start.....but just know, they will make you an addict. You will soon be throwing down 50 bucks for a single polyp. I feel so ashamed.......

Ha! I'm about to drop $70 on a rock with a few polyps on it!
Do I have enough lighting?

4 watts per gallon seems fine to me, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will chime in. This place is full of knowledgable people.

with only a 10g tank you will be fine with that lighting...
