    I am getting a biocube soon and was thinking about trying my hand at some corals, Ive never had any before. I want to put a pair of my clowns in there too so they would have to be compatable with them.

    What would you suggest as a couple beginner corals?? and any advice in general??

    It will be awhile until I actually add anything, I am getting the tank in the next week or so. But I thought it was worth thinking about so I can start researching :)

    thanks!

    I have a 12 gallon nano-cube that I really like, as for corals, some nice zoas, or mushrooms would be a good place to start, also stuff like green star polyps, ricordia, basically most soft corals are easy to take care of, but if you like zoanthids thats a good place to start, just wear gloves if your gonna mess with them(fragging, which is very easy on zoas) cause they are toxic, so dont let any other furry pets near the water you fragged them in...from what I have read its some really strong stuff too.

    What you want is frogspawn.

    Easy to keep. Low light tolerant.

    Clowns love them.

    Have fun!

    no elephant ear mushrooms,they will eat your fish.mushrooms green star polyps toadstool,zoos,xenia,leather corals,nepthia.mushrooms can be a great colorful coral thats very hard to kill.your fish will die before your mushrooms and you only need one or a few cause they reproduce well.
