A clam will not work in stock lighting, another reason to get the sunpod hehe

i personally dont have a list but you can try to google. What I do is I find someone who has a similar setup to me, and if they have a coral I find interesting and I would like in my tank, i get the name of it and research it to find out if my lighting and setup will be ok for it.
A general rule is many "soft" corals are usually ok for PC lighting. Not all and that is why its important to research it. Research the differences between softies, SPS, LPS corals.
a few others I forgot to mention are kenya tree, ricordia mushrooms, hammer corals, finger leather, and palythoas. good luck

Clams, anemones, and SPS coral are not going to do well in the stock 72 watt pc lighting you have. Your options are in the soft and LPS corals.
Your tank looks really clean. You set it up on the 25th of December have you noticed any algae blooms at all yet? You may be going a tad fast at this point.

yeah i know its always been clear i have a guy that set tanks up come look and it after about 3 weeks nad he said it was already cycled.

So, if you are not upgrading your lights, then I would take that anemone with you on Saturday.

 

[zacg]

well i didnt buy it there i wonder if they will take it or how much they would give me for it?

 

[subielover]

Probably won't give you anything, maybe a couple bucks. Anemones are cheap. Return and get nothing but the satisfaction of not watching a animal die

 

[nissan577]

hey bud. the tank is coming along really great. and yea i would recommend you upgrade the lights

 

[zacg]

yeah he was real cheap they had a price on him of 14.99 and they sold him to me for 9.99

 

[zacg]

thanks nissan

 

[nissan577]

i cant wait for this baby to be built!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zacg]

yeah nissan like i told the ones above i'm goin to a big fish store sat. that has coral and everything and i'm probably goin to drop alot of money you have any ideas as to what i need in my tank?

 

[nissan577]

well since you have PC lighting. you can go with LPS such as frogspawn, candy, favia, duncans, acans, hammer etc.... also you can keep softies leathers such as zoas, toadstool, kenya, devil hand, shroom, rics etc....

 

[zacg]

ok thanks, i want a real colorful fish i'm thinking about a sixline wrasse.

 

[nissan577]

Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse
Longfin Fairy Wrasse
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
