Do you add some hardy corals in your FOWLR tank?

I was wondering if you ever add some form of hardy
corals to "add more life" to the live rock in your FOWLR tank?
The coral I guess must be hardy....but what hardy corals did you put in? Is this recommended?
I can only think of the bubble coral which I think is hardy (although I'm not sure about this fact) but haven't tried that though in my FOWLR tank.....
Will putting in some macroalgae help or would it turn the tank into a jungle in no time?? <img src="graemlins//uhuh.gif" border="0" alt="[U-Huh]" />

You can certainly switch your FOWLR setup over to a reef system, but corals require certain considerations that you don't really have to deal with in a tank that probably has mostly fish. I'd suggest that you do some reading up on the type of coral you may want and see if what you had in mind is compatible with what you currently have in your tank. And, of course, you will have to ensure proper lighting and water chemistry.
