Beginner Coral suggestion

[Reef.Blue]

Hey guys I have been in the hobby for about 4 months now and I think I'm just about ready to add some corals to my 10g. The 10g has been running for about 4 months and I just set up by 40 which I will be adding corals to later. I was just looking for some corals that are pretty hardy and easy to keep and maintain. Any advice would help. Thanks!

Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Xenia, GSP, euphyllia, Kenya, leathers. Are all fairly easy corals that can tolerate unstable water. Just research and you’ll be fine. Plus all of the corals listed can be bought literally at any lfs selling coral.

Zoas/palys are always a favorite with the wide variety of types and colors. They're fairly resilient and adapt to different lighting and flow. Also reasonably inexpensive.

Xenias and GSP can grow like weeds, so these are best relegated to "islands" where they can't run amok across your entire rockscape.

really depends on what you like visually appealing, but keep in mind many morphs are more difficult to care for.

good beginner morph are:
eagle eyes
nirvana
scrambled eggs
pandora
mohawk
halle berry
safe cracker
bam bam

if you are gonna go with pandoras please isolate them, they are pretty invasive compared to other zoas. I added a frag to my zoa garden and regretted it.
