    So my tank is almost done cycling and I would like to start looking into which corals to add into my 20 Gallon high tank. THe tank currently has 130 watt power compact fixture ( an 65 watt actinic 03 and a 65 watt 10K).

    I would really like to add a frogspawn, zoas, shrooms, ricordias, leathers, and xenias.

    So my real questions is which from the above corals which would do well in my tank. If you do know some like a leather for example, which leather would you recommend (i.e toadstool/finger).

    TIA

    I think any of those you mentioned should be ok, could also look at Duncan, most leathers should be ok there a couple that need high light just do your research before you by anything and look for medium to low light species

    As the others have said, you should be fine with what you want. Just watch out for chemical warfare between the leathers and lps, try not to place too close together

    Ok so since all of you agree with what i can have, what specific corals do you recommend?

    I have like a total of about 8 different rock that I can place the corals on or in the spot some of the smaller rock on the sand are on.
