    Lps are nice but can get pricey start out with some zoos and palys. Mushrooms and rics. Lots of color from just those four. You will be happy.

    sounds like your doing a good job and hes pretty well established, but that must be fairly pricey and i can understand why you wish to rid your tank of him.

    yeah some fuzzy shrooms, a ricordea or two. there are a ton of beautiful soft corals you dont need any hard corals for your tank to be awesome. you can also explore into the harder corals eventually that need less light such as gorgonians. however these require heavy feeding, as do carnation tree corals, both are very difficult to care for so i advise to stay away until you feel you have the expertise.

    I really don't want to watch him die if he is. I know he eats all day from rocks non stop and when I feed tank but still its nerve racking and not worth the drama in a cube. Plenty of other colorful fish. Go to live aquria and window shop. Wrasse and gobys and blennys and some designer clowns I have a Picasso clown and a midnight photon and they make the tank for me. Or look up naked clowns wish I had a pair of those.

    well consider this, that is a 20 pound box, for 120 dollars? whereas you can get a 25-30 pound box of premium dry rock for 60-65 bucks? with free shipping of course. reefcleaners or marcorocks are the obvious answer my friend!

    Yea 120 is over priced. Get it from where they said dry and if u feel the urge get a few live as purple as possible and put that in from the place. It may not seem like it now but an hour drive is far to pay to much in this hobby.
