Blah tank...

Congaken · Oct 31, 2017

Have a 65 mostly fowler...did it that way because I wanted a lattice butterfly and singapore angel...so there is a good variety of non-predatory fish with a niger being the biggest...I also have a couple of condys and a couple of bta's...my problem is that the tank is pretty dull...mostly rock and the nems come out and go in and am having a hard time keeping them out and growing...Any suggestions of corals or such that my angel or lattice will not bother...or something to liven up this tank...?...pic below...

maybe a xenia or gsp. The angels will bother them, but they are cheap and grow like crazy; the down side is that they have the potential to take over the whole rock structure.

I am a fan of blue clove polyp

Well, on good advise...I put in my huge nephthya and gorgonian...I think softies are OK...at least so far...

Softies may be okay but I agree with the others in that you want a pretty bulletproof coral with tons of color. GSP is about as bright as green gets in this hobby and it would add a lot of motion to the tank. Xenia has a soft/pastel pink color most of the time and grows like crazy in most tanks, the pumping varieties are also really cool to look at.

I would first figure out what's going on with the tank that's keeping anemones unhappy, though, before getting too heavy with corals.
