I would love some feedback on what kinds of soft corals or anemones maybe a fether duster, I would love some colors maybe not anemones to start with but some soft corals to start.:feedback:
a little coral advice
- Thread starter bethkira2000
- Start date
Depending on the lighting levels that will be available to corals, i would go for things like different coloured Zoo's, carnation tree, kenya tree...things along them lines..Feater dusters (tube worms) are cool, plenty of variety available..

Most anenomes require high level lighting. Mushrooms can be colorful, and like Niko said, Zoa's can be some of the wildest looking things, so many different colorations, IMO. Good luck, I hope you can find some colorful things for your tank. What are you specs. (tank size,equipment,lighting) by the way? We might be able to be a little more specific , knowing more information about your system.:thumbsup:

i'll second bob's suggestions. you just have to keep in mind that softies grow rapidly so you have to keep them in check...
Agree with everything posted here.
GSP and Xenia are perhaps the best starter corals out there. Both are practically indestructable. Under a couple of actinics GSP can really stand out and make any tank look great.
Salty is right though, once you get the hang of it and your softies start to spread, put on the gloves, roll up your sleaves, and get ready to be a marine gardener! I am!

my tank is 55g with love rock and sand I am thinking a reefsun, and a coralife 50/50 I am also using I think 2 Maxijet powerheads at aither end of the tank. I also have a skimmer too.I was also wonder as to how many anemones my tank could have and feather dusters. I loved the one Grins has, and thought that would be awesome in my tank.
On the anemones you'll want to keep to one kind. Even better, keep to one anemone and any clones it creates. You can have as many featherdusters as you want though.
I kept xenia - two types, mushrooms, kenya trees, star polyps and a cup coral under my 96watt 50/50 pc. The cup coral was happy way up in the tank maybe 3 inches under the water, although I will admit that it is thriving under my t-5's. Jay
