Nano Corals

[nctarheels]

I think it would be beneficial to all if we list corals that are safe in a nano reef. That is corals who dont let out sweeper tentacles or who are rather "aggressive"

sun coral

 

[nano reefer]

ricordeas, zoos, palys, acans, mushrooms, toadstool leathers.

yellow and clove polyps

 

[nano reefer]

hammers/frogspawn/other types like that.

those are the best thats dont have a sting to them
but the previous suggestion of hammer and frogspawn (torch as well) are definitely the funnest.

 

[nctarheels]

what about clams?

not easy per se, but doable.

I bought a hammer and a frogspawn about 6 weeks ago. The Frogspawn has quadrupled in size and the hammer is growing new branches. is their rapid growth the reason you would not reccomend them?
I also like my plate coral. It seems to do really well and doesn't cause much trouble.

zoas, shrooms, rics, xienia (sp), leathers, frogspawn, sun coral, ect....

Candy canes, mushrooms, zoos, kenya trees, frogspawn and hammers can be by each other but will sting other corals, for instance I just had my frogspawn to close to my blastos and they killed it. Someone suggested acans, I wouldn't place these in a nano close to other corals, they can be quite vicious. Lobo or trachys brains should be alright, I wouldn't trust a favia though. Clove polyps, gorgs. It all depends on the size of the nano though technically all my tanks are "nano" and I have all the corals I listed plus many more.

Ricordeas only that I know of.

Things are getting tight in my tank, i bet it will be getting ugly soon. I hope they don't cause too much trouble though.

Any SPS recommendations? Many can be fine, but should be fragged once they get too cramped.
