    Any body have ideas on what type of coral to add? I would like reds, blues, and bright whites. Also I would like to add a small crab to bring more activity to the tank. Any ideas on that too?

    what equipment do you have for your tank? Gota make sure your tank can support it. Do you want softies, LPS, SPS?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Red: Orange monti cap and red digitata, acans, blasto, some favia, some mushrooms, Red planet acropora.

    Blue: Cali and Oregon torts, blue mushrooms, blue cloves.

    White: That is a hard one. Some zoanthids, pale colored euphyllias, whiter types of xenia.

    There are not a lot of the blues and whites I can think of, but red is pretty easy to come by.

    You can get some neat encrusting monte's like supermans, they are blue with red polyps or some millies might give you what you are looking for as far as blues go.

    Thanks! I will go look all of them up and check em out. Is there any duncans that are white? I am thinking of a sun coral. I want something that encrusts up the side of my rock.

    what about a couple heads of some ultra acan lords..

    even though you have a ten gallon, you can just frag them a bunch so they outgrow your tank..you can easily find acans with that color range

    i just got some of these..i could frag you a couple and we trade for something...there called armor of gods and they have the colors you want..15$ 2 day shipping

    I just picked up a Blasto Wellsi that is bright red with a deep blue interior.
