New corals how do they look.

[Reef Devils]

Just got my first 3 corals. So far they have been opening up and look to be healthy. What do you think. Do you think I could get some type of anemone for my clowns?

How old is your tank? Nems usually have a higher ceiling of requirements specifically the age of the tank being 6-8 months old. Your corals look great though!

I’d give the system some more time to develop. If u see positive results from the corals, growth/ coloration over then nxt few months then maybe a nem. Initial corals look good. Just keep stability. Good luck

What about getting a torch?

Don’t know much about the tank or exp but if do get a torch get one that’s aquacultured. Less chance of bacterial infections and brown jelly. Etc. I’d wait to see how this group responds.

Ok I will see how they do over the next week. If they do well I will look into getting some more corals.

I tried a GBTA at 4 mos. Didn't go well, it withered and died over a two week period. I waited and added a RBTA at 11 mos. now at 18 mos. it is thriving.

Ok I might wait 6 months till I get an anemone.

My dude I get wanting to add corals inverts etc but things take time and with stability in an aged system. Ur system is way new These animals like most in this hobby require that to be healthy. Not saying u can do it but chances of success are diminished.

Ive always been nervous to add any Nems in my 25 gallon. Mainly worried it will take over some of my soft coral colonies in its journey to find a home in the tank. Looks like you chose some pretty advanced corals to start. If you can keep those happy, a torch would probably do well. Hammers are a little hardier, but you already have frogspawn. What’s those others? A fungia plate and montipora? Tank is nice!

Yeah I heard that Nems move around a lot to fin a spot it likes. So far the corals have been opening up fully and it has been 2 days since I have had them. The other 2 are a Duncan and leather.

Oh nice. I see now, a whole colony of Duncan’s. Those are good choices.
