Starter Coral

Xenia... Anthelia.. Mushrooms.. Green star polyps... these all are hard to kill and usualy first corals

And I agree with packleader... how can you not like zoas?

 

What should I add for filterfeeders?

I have the reef test kit but I haven't tested anything yet, I'll definitely watch the water before I get any corals.

 

haha I don't know why zoas are so popular!! They're those boring brownish ones that sort of resemble red blood cells in shape right? *snore*

 

they come in every color of the rainbow look at my avatar!

 

Oooo those ones in your avatar are really pretty! I've never seen them colorful like that.....ok, you changed my mind

 

Hey Katie, in my experience they just popped up. Got a whole lot of tube worms, couple bivalves, 2-3 different kinds of sponges. 2nd year into my tank and still no corals, just started to plan for them. But like that motto that goes around here, Go slow let it grow. Don't get to excited and go out, buy $150 in corals and bring them home just to have them die on you because of a pH drop due to some fluke, no not the worm.

 

Oh goodness no! Zoos/palys come in a limitless amount of different colors, probably even more so than mushrooms. Check out a few websites, they can give you a real good idea. My favorite coral website:

Heehee, I love you pack. Thanks for that link.

 

Wow, look how pretty!! I love Zoas ;D;D;D

 

LOL now we got her on board!
Also look at palys... like a zoa but larger in appearance anyway.
Armor of god are nice... pink too! ;-)
