Just got my first two corals:-
A Green star polyp

And a toad stool.

Do I need to feed them & if so with what? The LFS sold me a bottle of PhytoPlex and said put in a capful twice a week. Thought I had better check with the experts.

The GSP will feed from the lighting in the tank, but would not hurt putting in phyto in the tank twice per week...

Same as above for the leather...

They both look really nice indeed..What lighting do you have on the tank? as you did not mention it on your list on the "Introduction" thread...

Welcome to the boards..

Any suggestions for the next coral to look out for?

Zoa's always look nice, or a candy cane. Just two suggestions there are thousands.
