    hey guys, i recent check my water and its good to go for some hardy stuff. i have 11 blue leg hermit crabs, 10 turbo snail, 1 sunk cleaner shrimp and 2 young ( 1 - 2 inches) ocellairs clown fish. i dont want to upset the bio load much but i also wana get just 1 - 2 soft coral frags. i was thinking of some kind of polyp or something of the sort. will this throw of the bio load more? or will it be okay? thanks;D!

    Corals do not effect the bio load hardly any so don't worry about adding corals for that reason. Just make sure your params are in order before hand and good luck.

    You might like a Green star polyp, they are pretty easy and look good.

    Certain mushrooms would be very good to start with. You can also try some leathers like toadstools and kenya tree or some zoanthids. Button polyps are good beginner zoas as long as you have adequate lighting.

    If you post the specs on your system it would help us make suggestions.
