| Re: corals??? I have mushrooms and a really nice star polyp, also carpet anenome, and a leather, my lighting is not that strong (yet), so far all are doing well, but you really need to make sure your lights are not too old. |

| Re: corals??? What is your total wattage? Button polyps, mushrooms, colt corals are good starters. My first reef tank was a 20gal.  Make sure to add live rock. What is your substrate? |

| Re: corals??? Regardless of you lighting, I think you should be able to start with mushrooms and zoanthids.

| Re: corals??? Not all zoas at super easy to grow and care for. I would start out with some muchrooms and see how it goes from there.
