    now with sponges, I heard that if they get air they will die. How can i gaurantee they never seen air before i get them and if they die dont they poison your water??

    they do not poison the water. Now with the air thing...... that's a different story. you can put one on hold at your lfs and watch it for about a week or so in their tank. Also watch them as they bag it to make sure it stays out of the air. I love sponges. They aren't very expensive and ultra bright for the most part.

    For yellow, yellow toadstool leathers are nice. Trachyphylia brains add great color.

    Here, these all have LOTS of color and are way easy to maintain:

    Radioactive Greens, Dragon Eyes, Volcano Reds, Kryptonites, Oranges, White/Oranges, Purple/Greens, Yellow/Whites, Blue/Yellows, couple varieties of pinks, Watermelons, Green Palys, Fire & Ice, Green People Eaters, Red People Eaters, Red/Creams, Black Cherries, Tubbs Blues, some small Kedds Reds.

    As far as 02 and sponges... Sponges do fine with air as far as I have ever seen. I even have some sponges growing in my protein skimmer chamber (which is filled with lots of "air")

    Stay away from sponges unless they accompany live rock or are vrown in color. The beautiful oranges, yellows and reds are very delicate and won't last long due to specialized foods and alot of them.

    If you have the money, you can get some really nice acan lords, if you have the lighting many montipora are colorful and easy to keep, favia come in many colors, open brains. You really need to just look around at your lfs, or if buying online, you can get exactly what you want.
