Coral

[ryan.pilkington.7]

Hi guys currently keep tropical fish and thinking of having a marine set up for my birthday. I've heard of SPS Coral and LPS coral and Soft coral. What's the different between them? Are there any corals that you would recommend for a marine newbee along with a picture of the coral

Thank you

Mushrooms are best to start with, very hardy and come in a wide variety of colors. Zoanthids are awesome and easy.
