CORAL's give me your top ten easy to care for!!!

[dermp]

I going to be stocking my 72 gallon with more corals. Before I go out and do that I need to know whats the easiest to care for and hardiest ones. I want different colours, shapes and sizes. I run 440 watts VHO's.

CHEERS

Off the top of my head, star polyps, cabbage leather, most zooanthides, mushrooms. For stoney corals I'd say candy cane, meat coral, and cup coral.

Montipora Digitata is a weed and can do fine under that much VHO, how ever MH is always the better solution when it comes to coral.

[MiddletonMark]

Tree/colt leathers, toadstools, zoanthids/polyps, green star polyps. Would put mushrooms on the list too.

[ruhspolostar]

Colt, Xenia, Mushrooms, zoos, leather, button polyps, elephant ear mushroom, finger forgonian, toadstool,

theres 10, so as you can see common denominator: ANYHTING SOFT is farely simple

I like Bob and Chris's suggestions in a VHO tank, The Montipora Digitata will grow slowly enough that, along with the octocorals, will not have a huge demand for ca and alk, so 2 part additives will be sufficient for these water column requirements in your size tank. They can do well under the lighting you already have, and unless in direct conflict, will not be overly aggressive to each other. You WILL need to skim well and use carbon to keep the allopathic warfare from killing the stony corals. They do OK in the current needed for the octocorals, so with some planning, the tank should be interesting.

Think lagoonal, research the conditions and specimens common to these environments.
