Slow growing easy corals

[Richard the Reefer]

So when this 40gb is up and running and stable enough for coral I would like to start with some slow growers. My girlfriend and I will be moving within the next year or two so I don't want a ton of corals that will likely die or get shredded during transportation.

The scape will be 3 separate pieces that can be removed intact and fully submerged in saltwater through the trip.

Lights will be 2 ai prime HD over the standard 40gb.

Its ok to tell me no coral if that's really my only option lol

Happy reefing peeps!!

I believed he wants some easy corals SPS may not be the case, I could be wrong. A nice Zoas garden can be out of water for very long period they will cover your rocks so no risk of breaking during transport.

Acro's the only option? Idk if I want corals that get so big in a 40 feels cruel. Even though it would be forever before they get huge! Oregon tort looks sick as hell tho!!! Super nice

I do fancy some zoas!! Have a couple island rocks that would be awesome covered by them!

Zoas tend to grow kinda fast though, usually a minimum of 1-2 polyps a month when the colony is small and more when larger. Leathers are slow growers and easy to keep.

The leather corals are fun, just be careful they do intent to grow very fast also, just look at my yellow leather, it is double in size in 3 months...Now its covering my SPS. But they are very hardy so you can transport them when the time comes!
Any ways happy reefing! Keep us updated on what you plan on putting in.

Cheers!
