Looking to add some corals.

[stewie griffin]

My tank has been running for about 8 months and i think i'm ready to add something. Just don't know what. I need something easy if thats possible. I have a few mushrooms now, just looking for a little more. I keep my water clean and in check. thanks..

Softies are your best bet with a HOB filter.
If shrooms do good for you, maybe a few more but different color.
Leather corals are good as well but can get large.
Maybe a Nem for your giant clown.

I was thinking about some more mushrooms. How do you get them to stick to your rock when you buy them.Water movement will blow them off the rock. Also are my tank lights to bright, just curious

You can lighting rubber-band then to a small piece of rock. Then glue that rock where you want it. You want the band to be loose enough so that it only holds the mushroom in place - it doesn't need to strap it down tight at all. OR you could put some rubble in a small cup with the loose mushrooms and wait until they attach.

I try to talk nice to them and cross my fingers. lol. Ive found the or rathe a trick is to guess the flow. some start them in a dish to attach to rubble. thats actually imo kinda the flow they like. indirect.
what kind of light is that? thats a bigger factor. Also really what do you like? and where do you want to eventually get to.
IMO the best starter corals are cheap corals. see how they do and get the hang of the learning curve. doesnt matter what they are within reason. Acros are probably out the need a LOT of light.
Ive had the super easy sps like some birds nest under much lower light, and palys too.

I like the idea of a dish with rubble, I will have to try that. My light is a Aqueon led 1 is a 20" day white and 1 20" color max. I also have actinic light
