What are some easy care corals? I think mushrooms, right?
I have on my LR some hitchhiking pollyps, so people say......
I got an actinic 03 bulb and a regular one, got them with the tank. Is that good enough for corals or not?
The guy who gave me tha tank said he had shrooms in it b4 and they were doing great till he had to move and the shrooms didn't quit enjoy it and died.
Tanks for the help.........

Mushrooms, polyps, and some leathers are good corals to start with. You may want to upgrade your lights if you want to keep anything else. Good luck!

What should they be upgraded to? VHOs or PCs or what?
Is there such a thing as too much light?
The "pollyps" i got are really tiny..... Anything i can do to help them grow faster? They open nicely all the time.
What should i look for when buying corals? Healthy wise.........
That's all i can think of for now..........

the polyps should go out of control if the lights are decent. I got my rock with about 50 on it about 3 months ago, now there is about 150 on 3 different rocks. Give em time, they will spread like mad.
