    Either one is a good choice, if you can get a branching frogspawn. What's nice about both of those corals is that as they grow, you can very easily frag them by just cutting the dead skeleton. You can then trade the frags in or sell them to another person or lfs for credit and buy more corals.

    no, it is a legitimate question. I have no idea what your experience level is but by your post count I can see you are at least new to the site. Many people join trying to start a tank and have no idea why they can't put fish in on day one. I did not mean to offend. Your tank is only 6 weeks old so I just wanted to double check the cycle was something you were familiar with and knew it had completed before starting to suggest anything.

    But really, it was a direct response to your question above it. I didn't know really how you meant that question. Quoted below.

    You failed to mention what kind of lighting you are using.
    IF your using t5 i would add a torch, frogspawn, hammer, or Monti cap.
    IF your using Pc i would add some shrooms, Kenya tree, or some Anthelia.
    IF your using MH the the options are endless for you

    I have a tankful of SPS thriving under T5s as well as a clam on the sandbed. You can pretty much keep anything under T5s as well provided you have enough bulbs over the tank.
