a coral that is not 50/50

Mkizla, a bit of a precaution, if keeping all soft coral, the chemical warfare can get intense. The list ocean1 gave was a good list of which I keep those mentioned, however. I went into your profile and like many others I find no info on your tank i.e. size, filtration etc. I have a 55 gal. and have had to "fight" the toxin issue to try and keep all the coral stress free. Here is a pic of my 14 gal. and a combination of "beginner" coral that seem to get along.

 

You could get different color patterns of zoas, mushrooms, some favia maybe?

 

Mushrooms + zoas = easy

 

I dont understand, what do you mean toxin issue?

 

Toxin issue......

Some corals have VERY toxic chemicals that they release to fend off other corals.

Example: I cannot place my favia near any of my other corals because if I do I will come home to dead corals.....

 

btw - I bought some aquacultured xenia frags for 14.99 from liveaquaria.com (one of this site's sponsors) and it has really thrived. You might try them if you want to give xenia another go!

 

Oh boy..that sounds very scary..are they toxin to people too?
And should all corals stay away from one another?

 

i would never let two corals touch unless they are euphilla(sp)

 

Not all corals. You can put different zoas together but I wouldn't mix TYPES of corals......

Zoa with zoa, not favia with zoa etc.....

 

The toxins are usually limited to soft corals. You want to watch out for lps coral's sweeper tenticles. They can sting other corals and kill parts of them.
