Corals for a stock 24gal Aquapod.
I'll soon be starting a 24gal Aquapod (if it ever gets here). As many of you know this tank was my replacement for my 50 gal because I wanted something all-inclusive that would mainly house clowns, zoas, and shrooms. I'd like to keep a torch or something eventually that my clowns could host, because I know I can't keep any anemone. I'd really like to know what corals besides zoa's and shrooms I could house. Again I'm trying to go as hassle-free as possible here. Also, I'm looking for as much COLOR as possible as well.
Thanks

it comes with 64 watts of PC lighting - i;m definitely keeping at least zoos and shrooms....and i know i'll be able to handle some LPS as well, I'd just like some advice on which LPS, which has the best color, and some possible placement tips (ie aggression between corals)

You should be able to keep a frogspawn, they have very good coloring and are pretty hardy. I've had mine under PC's for almost 1.5 yrs. and it has grown (split) two additional heads. Also, I don't feed it or add anything special for it, low maintenance.

you should be able to keep a hammer, or a candy cane. those have pretty ygood color, i would place them higher in the tank. with medium flow, and (some one correct me if im wrong) but i think the hammer needs a 6" radius around it for sweeper tentacles, and the candy cane about 2" most lps have aggresive behaviors, so do a little reasearch before you buy so you know if you have the space.

Not sure but I think hammer likes less flow. Still trying to figure that out. They are beautiful when open. Still waiting on mine to open back up he's tempermental.   I also like feather dusters. here's a pic
Ps yes I know its a worm and not a coral but I think they look great in the tank. |
