Some easy coral suggestions?

[atxchris1234]

6 Week old tank
250w reeflux 12k
CPR protien skimmer
30 gal tall tank


I was hoping you guys could give me suggestions. This is for a beginner tank

Thanks

easy corals... mushrooms, zoos, most leathers are hardy too!

[atxchris1234]

How about frogspawn? I was wanting something that does a bit of "swaying" in the current, and hopefully the clown will like.

I have a colt leather that is easy and my clown hosts in it.

xenia seems pretty easy as well. when i had clarkii clowns they hosted in it.

frogspawn isn't really the the beginner coral type. like the others said xenias are easy too, and clowns often host in xenias and leathers

common orange zoanthids are really hardy

[atxchris1234]

Dern it. I was hoping I could finally start getting into some colorful stuff.

Sigh.


Patience.

there are some VERY colorful zoas out there

how do you like the 12k?

It rocks! Def. brings out a good bit of the neon colors I was looking for. I was a bit confused on that black diamond carbon at first, the tank looked cloudy for about a day and a half. But now im SO glad I listened to you it looks amazing. Water is just crystal clear.

lol, in the future rinse the dust off the carbon before you throw it in your tank. it will make a world of difference.

Yellow toadstool, very colorful, easy to care for, and cut a piece off and grow a new one! Neat looking for a leather.

Torch and frogspawns aren't too difficult to keep, just have to keep the flow in mind. Too much flow and they recede, too little and its tough for them to sway and gather food easily. I had one in a 3gal picotope with no problems.

Mushrooms & zoas. Both are available in a wide variety of colors.

You have enough light for stoney corals. Generally, they aren't recommended for new systems and/or beginners. However, a common green cap (bright breen) or Green Slimers TEND to be the easiest.
