want to take a stab at coral

[pcircle85]

Apparently I'm not meant to have two clowns, so I want to take a swing at coral.
I've been looking and looking and researching and looking. I like the look of candy cane.
Perhaps someone can throw some suggestions or advice my way?
It's a 10 gallon hex, fully cycled, 40 watts of lighting (20 watt sunlight, 20 watt actinic) and 20 pounds of live rock.
And presently one false percula.

Been up and runnin for about 6 months, seen 4 different clowns, and two different stars.
The first clown I ever got, is still the same one I have.

The other four met unfortunate/accidental ends... Two ate by a banded serpent star (which is why it's gone now). And two sucked into the powerhead intake. (Fixed, fyi)
The second star was an orange linckia. And now I no longer listen to that LFS...

And now I know to consult saltwaterfish.com before I even leave the house!

LFS: "These orange ones here are very hardy and easy to keep!" WRONG
kholla12: That sounds like ALOT of coral, got a picture?

To be specific: 2 - 24" T12 fluorescents. One a 20watt sunshine bulb (not sure on the brand); the other a Coralife 20watt 100% true actinic bulb.
