Ive now added some frags to my tank (thanks to jason) and im looking for a couple of specifics.... i was looking to see if anyone had a bubble coral and/or frag/s that they would want to give up? If so please let me know... there were a couple others that i was intrested in but i have them written down at home (im at work now) so ill post them at a later time...

Also if anyone has any other frags/corals that they think i might be intrested in let me know (260W compact lighting 55gal)

Thanks Alot,
Zach M.

I personally do not think that a bubble coral is the best addition for you tank personally. For one it is not a terribly easy coral to keep (which is a definate downfall for a beginner coral keeper) and they can be very picky as far as lighting goes. A very high percent of them need to be kept under more intensive lighting (MH, T-5, VHO, ect.) as they are a stony coral *LPS* (they may not look it as they are so soft and fleshy looking). They also need to be kept away from other inhabitants that you will have in your tank as they do have sweeper tenticles which can sting your other corals.

Just a bit of advice and my $0.02.

Biggest thing you can do when you are looking to make an addition to your tank... As great as something may seem at the time do not buy something w/out knowing some background about it before you get it. Fish, corals, inverts, doesn't matter. Know what you are getting before you get it so you don't have to worry about "will it work in my tank?" I almost made a hasty decision with getting a fish one time turned out that that perticular fish can actually grows to 12" in the home aquaria. Luckily I did follow my own advice on that one but, I really wanted to not follow it (Porcupine Pufferfish) as it turned out they will also eat smaller fish as well.

Aka study, study, study, buy.
