Help with corals... need some ideas

[Jason lamothe]

I gave a 90g DT with a 20g sump. It's been up and running for almost 2 years. Plenty of LR and LS... I'm ready to start getting some corals, all my parameters have been good and stable for most of that time. Problem is I dont want anything that is gonna take over my tank or kill other corals... a mix of different corals would be nice! Any idea what to get, a nice mix, that wont take over or kill everything else? TIA

First thing that comes to mind are acan lords, and Duncan's.

Birds nest is fairly easy and won’t take over.

Any coral has the potential to take over of you allow it. Soft corals grow more quickly which is why they are known for "taking over" a tank. But any soft or lps coral are great for beginners. Just have to know how to keep them in check. So with that;zoas, mushrooms, toadstools, duncans, euphyllias, and acans are all great corals to get your feet wet with

Although people complain about GSP (Green STar Polyp), I find they are the most controllable as long as u isolate them on an island. I do like the way they look when grown and expanded.
