Coral Variety

[Kizmar]

So here's my list of corals currently (all are ~1" frags):

• Green Apple Cap (Pavona maldivensis)
• Green Fluorescent Mushroom (Actinodiscus sp.)
• Red Mushroom (Actinodiscus sp.)
• Green Lavender Mushroom (Rhodactis sp.)
• White Lavender Mushroom (Rhodactis sp.)
• Colony Polyp, Orange/Green (Zoanthus sp.)
• Colony Polyp, Maroon/Red (Zoanthus sp.)

I've had all of these corals in my tank for about a month now (or longer for some) and they are all doing great.

I'm looking to diversify the tank a bit (with different kinds of corals), but need to keep it to something that can handle a 2 to 3 month old tank. Any suggestions?

Are Torch and Anthelia Corals safe for a young tank?

If your pavona is doing well, there is a variety of Large Polyped Stony corals available such as acans, euphyllias, brain corals, fungia plate corals, etc. There are also many soft corals that will do well such as leather corals, star polyps, and xenia. The options are very diverse.:^:

Anthelia and torch corals are fine, but watch out because anthelia can be invasive and torch corals are very aggressive.

You can start stocking with lower light lps's, like duncan's hammers, favia's, etc.

I apparently copied one of those wrong, the green apple on should be: Green Apple Cap Coral - Aquacultured (Montipora capricornis)... not "(Pavona maldivensis)". Does that make a difference? :)

Monti Caps are low light, rather easy to care for SPS corals- I'd stick with the recommendations already mentioned
