What would be a good coral?

[jacobrt]

I am doing well with the mushrooms and zooanthids. My fish and Anemone is doing well also. I have a refugium that I made out of a sump and I use a Aqua C protein skimmer. My lighting is two 250 watt metal halides and four 65 watt power compacts. My tank is 75 gallons. I am wanting to begin putting corals in the tank that truly take advantage of the strong lighting. What would anyone suggest? Keep in mind the tank is only 3 months old.

get some frags of those ridiculously expensive micromussas that only go to japan since they'll pay thousands for a single polyp of something lol....j/k

To use those lights, Id say go for a clam, or maybe a pretty encrusting montipora. You can put just about anything in there and have it survive, but different corals have different needs.

well since your already going towards the soft corals, try some finger leathers and Xenias. They are pretty easy to care for and do well with other softies. idk how experienced you are, but if you have some really good water flow I'd say get some acros, but they are more difficult. You'd have to be good about water changes and keeping up with the dosing.
