Holiday Decorations for Saltwater Tanks

[Seafoamie]

Hello! I’m new here but have been using this website for research purposes! I’m new to aquariums however my boyfriend is very knowledgeable and has had many In the past. He loves Christmas and I was looking for possible ways to slightly decorate our tank to surprise him. I didn’t want to just order any old type of decorations without knowing if they could be detrimental to our tank. I would be eternally grateful for any tips and tricks, insights, or pictures on how to make it just a touch festive since these are our babies now. I may just decorate the little tables on the side or something. Thank you in advance!

Lots of options for holiday decorating!

Jingle Bells Cyphastrea
Christmas Tree Worm Rock
Season's Greetings Montipora
Mystic Christmas Montipora
WWC Grafted Cap is Red and Green
Christmas Zoas
Christmas Favia
Christmas Lords (ha!)
Less we forget the TREE itself!!!

These corals have been in the hobby for years and it would be your best bet buying them from local hobbyists for about $10/frag with the exception being the worm rock which is more expensive.

You could always decorate the tank stand or the area around the tank as well!

Thank you so much! I’ve been doing quite a bit of research now on those bad boys and I’m really dying for a Christmas tree worm rock lol might be a Christmas present to our tank!
