[Marine]

hey everyone im getting a lighting system and i wanted to know some pretty low maintenance or beginner corals that look attractive i dont know if this matters or not but i will do it anyway here is my list of fish that i have a yellow tang ( i know you arent supposed to have one in a 45 gallon but hes really happy and healthy in it ) a foxface ( the yellow tang and the foxface get along very well they follow each other around the tank all the time) a coral beauty and 2 clown fish so considering the fish that i have what corals are possible in my tank oh ya im getting a light that putts off 156 watts i dont know how much it matters but o well anyway thanks

if you want low care coral i would try a some mushrooms and or zoas both seem to be easy to take care of and reproduce nicely

[EndlessSummer]

+1 on the mushrooms and zoas

What type of lighting is it? That will make all the difference in what you are able to keep under it.

Hammers and torches I have found to be uber easy and fast growers, may not be the same for you or may be.

leathers and star polyps are easy too

i was looking at hammer coral on saltwater fish.com and i didnt get what it ment when it said like 3 stalks does that mean three tentacles or what

[EndlessSummer]

It means 3 "heads" of hammer. I would look into some zoas or mushrooms as your first. Also, those fish are too big for the tank! I'm sorry but i had to say it!

ya i know i know my fish are to big but i dont have the coral beauty anymore and now all my fish are peacful ( finally ) and i will probably start out with the mushrooms

mushrooms are cool. I have a 46 and I have hammers, a red mushroom, and a torch (near the top). So far they've been pretty easy (got them as frags a few weeks ago. Lighting is important though for a torch, so if your lighting is lower i would skip that one till you upgrade if you have what your tank came with.
