soft corals

i have 4 65 watt powercompacts.
what kinds of soft corals would you guys get?
i have xenia and a pretty big leather coral

 

There are so many corals you can keep. There are lps and sps that will do fine in your tank depending on where you place them. Toadstool, Kenya tree, hammer coral and frogspawn are just a few. I am sure others will name a few more. Maybe some duncans or acans.

 

i was thinking about getting a torch coral. is this ok?
i been looking at lots of corals that would do well in my tank but i cant seem to find what i like.
so im just getting ideas

 

how big is ur tank? how deep?

oh i should of read the thread title. you can have n e soft coral.

if these are going to be your 1st corals, I would start with some of the easier to keep varieties

mushroom rocks
Ricordia
Zoanthids
Palythoas
Yellow polyps
Green Star polyps
Anthellia
Clove polyps
soft finger leather corals
Toadstool corals

the above are not very demading in terms of light and should do well under your current lighting scheme

is a standard 60 gallon with a 10 gallon sump and a 5 gallon fuge

 

Torch would be ok as well as galaxea. Some of the corals that require a higher light can be placed near the top. Even a crocea clam will be ok as long as your tank has been established for a long enough time so that you dont have any large swings in water quality. I have kept lots of stuff under pc lights and it has all done great. Even some of the sps corals that I had. With pc's you are just limited to which ones, but you can still have a beautiful reef tank.

 

+1 on this. I guess I should have stated that in the first reply. If you keep reading you will find lots of great advice from very knowledgeable people that are very willing to help.

 

oh ok sweet my mind is just flutering with ideas!!
i think i might get a torch and some ricordias

 

a torch is an lps coral, if ur just starting out i would go with the ones previously metioned. but a torch is one of the easier lps's to keep. GSP will grow like mad so place with care in ur tank should you get this guy. goodluck
