Best corals for my aquascape?

[Jhbard]

It's just 2.5 gallons so I'm not sure what would do best so if you don't mind I'd like you guys to do the hard part for me.
Also if the tank looks a little cloudy just letting you know it's crystal clear now. at this point I've posted about the same tank a few times but I just want to get this right thanks in advance.

Mushrooms, leathers, Kenya tree, and RFAs

Kenya tree sounds nice

I would just put zoa's or mushrooms and possibly clove polyps. In such a small tank, I don't think you can put any flow (so would be challenging for leathers) or real filtration in there, so really only the most basic corals that don't have any requirements.

I agree with easier/lower maintenance corals but I would be worried zoas would over take everything very fast. As for Kenya Tree it will literally fill the tank in just a few months. What about easier encrusting montis or acans. You can abuse both, lower light requirements and will be at least a year before tank is over taken by them.

I know this is probably my best opinion but just wanted to know if any one had a second opinion.

Can I make a suggestion???

Take that big rock out and hammer and chisel it in half.

It's so close to the top of the water.
1) don't put coral on it.. In no time flat it is at the water line in growth.
2) less space for fish to swim.
3)smaller pieces = more hiding spots for fish to feel safe.

Fish? It's 2 gallons

Fish? It's 2 gallons

Fish as in singular and fish as in plural.
Either way, the fish have some room.

I didn't think any fish could live in a 2.5 gallon

Well, you have a point.

Blue cleaner goby and a few sexy shrimp

 

[TX_REEF]

micromussa and candy canes! love them both, and both thrive in fairly low light and flow.

Sexy shrimp and coral would be pretty
