So I've got a 4.9 gal pico tank in my office that I believe can handle soft and LPS corals. The last time I did corals was 15 years ago so I'm at a loss. Right now it's got 2 tiny clowns in it and they will be the only inhabitants.

Thanks!

I would put zoanthids, green star polyp, or somthing extremely invasive coral which is pulsing xenia. Pulsing xenia reproduce extremely fast and will cover your entire tank. Pulsing xenia live even in highly polluted areas in the wild where we dump waste. I doubt you could kill those. If you add them you may have a hard time removing them and they grow everywhere.

Zoanthids are pretty thought I haven’t killed any, green star polyp grows fast but not plague proportions like xenia.
