    When I got home from work my elegance coral did not look good and still does not look good. I put a frogspawn in yesterday and could only find a good spot about 6-8 inches away so that may have something to do with it but also had I done proper research BEFORE I bought the elegance, I wouldn't have. Anyway, I'm gonna go to my LFS tomorrow to pick something out to replace it.

    Any coral suggestions that's for a newbie? I don't seem to have good luck but I like stuff that moves so mostly LPS and soft corals.

    Personally I really like the more colorful zoas and torch corals

    Ohhh they had an Orange plate the other day, I like those. I have Orange zoas and green button polyps. I want stuff to go on rocks too. But all these suggestions look cool from what I've Googled

    Some people are successful with xenia, and some are not, but they are great corals.
    I would stay away from the galaxia as they produce LONG stinger tentacles and can easily irritate other coral.
