WTB: (Calgary) Beginner Corals

legendboy · #1 04-08-2010, 07:58 PM

Hi, I am looking for some small beginner type corals for my 12g nano cube. I have been to all the shops in town to see what they have and am not very impressed.

Not looking to spend $50+ on something I am not sure I can keep alive lol!

I am a noob at salt water, have had my tank cycled and running for 2 months, have a few snails and 2 pep. shrimps. I would consider the tank high flow. Stock 2x24w 50/50 pc lighting.

Let me know what you have!

watch what you put in, some soft corals grow quickly and take over tanks. Look into hammer, torch, ricordia's and zoa's

I wouldn't suggest Hammer and Torch as a Beginner Coral for 12 gal nano cube.

I would suggest zoas, Hammer and Frog spawn they all seem to be bullet proof even GSP is a good starter put it in and it will grow easy to prune and you can help some one else out and pass it on. Yellow polups are a good one also.

Both are easy to maintain. hammer coral was my second coral i ever bought.

I suggest dropping into red coral and checking out the $10 zoa frags. great beginner coral
