Coral Suggestions

[cobra1858]

I have an 8-month-old 75 Gal tank with candy coral and green star polyp corals in it that are doing well. Any suggestion on what to try next? I would like something hearty that would be good for a person with limited experience with corals.

zoos and shrooms are always good beginner and the are fine with that lighting maybe some of the leathers should do well also colt,cabbage not sure on devils hand though

 

[Lourdes]

forgspawn is one of my fav. zoos are always a good choice!

 

[cobra1858]

Thanks for the suggestions. I think the LFS has frogspawn I can look at.

Not sure how it would do under that lighting but if you want to try some green digi I have a few frags for cheap cheap cheap

 

[jango]

my digi's did awesome under pc's except for purple,great growth and color....

cant keep them any more though???

Xenias do well under PCs and they are free from a lot of BRS people.

 

[cobra1858]

Cheap and Free, my favorite words. Anyone near Pawtucket, RI with Xenias? Ray, will you be going to Macna on Friday?

 

[Ray]

Not on Friday but I am not far from Boston

Frogspawn will do well under that lighting. Just make sure your water quality stays good. They are easy so long as your water quality stays good and stable.

All other suggestions here are very easy.

Ray I not sure what time I will be leaving Boston. About what time would you be around on Friday?

 

[SteveDola]

Cobra, im in RI and have some xenia. I actually work in Prov/pawt everyday. My xenia is a problem because it never stops growing. If you want to set up a date later in the week I can prune some for you. Its the fleshy colored xenia not the white pom pom. Its very healthy and I could give you quite a bit. Im in West Warwick.

oh and I have plenty(understatement) of cheto if you need some. That goes for anyone else too-

 

[cobra1858]

SteveDola I usually get out of work at 4 PM and on Friday I will be at the Macna in Boston. Let me know what would be a good time for you. Thanks

I am not sure but I have a clam for steve so maybe if he does not mind I could give it to him to give to you? I have 2 smalls for $5 and 1 med for $10, they are all mounted on something already

 

[cobra1858]

I'll take the Med for $10. Are you saying you would give it to Steve to give to me? That is fine with me if he dosn't mind. Just let me know when to pick and how to pay for it.
