Easy Corals for Beg.

If you are losing corals.... maybe you get your parameters under control first... especially if you are worried about your water getting worse.

I dont understand. It almost seems like maybe you should not be adding any coral at this time.

Mushrooms, rhodactis, toadstool leathers, finger leathers, and esp my pink pavona, which was given to me since day one of my SW experience. It survived through some pretty horrible swings in water parameters, pH, lightings. I have some thriving in VHO flourescent lightings, and some in my other tank, which has MH.

I have to say my Mushroom Toadstools is a real champ, he has lasted such horrible conditions and always bounces back when the water level return to normal. Next I would have to say my bubble coral. He doesn't show signs of stress and seems to puff up all the time. But that can also be a negative if you look for signs of stress before changing water quality
Zoo's and I don't get along in the beginning, I don't like how they vanish. I rather have something that I can pick out of the tank if it passes away so my water levels don't drop even lower.

I vote for zoas
