The shrooms Im sure would be fine towards the top. As for the leather Im not sure I would try that.

hogpark7430 · 08/20/2006, 05:46 PM

Kenya Tree would also be fine.

TearDrop · 08/20/2006, 11:08 PM

shrooms, zoos, gsp, some leathers, maybe some other type of polyps.

I thought Kenya trees LOVED light?

tacomareefer · 08/21/2006, 02:09 AM

button polyps, shrooms, kenya trees, star polyps, and sun coral if you can keep up with feeding it.

tacomareefer · 08/21/2006, 02:10 AM

Also some feather dusters would look nice.

thor32766 · 08/21/2006, 10:32 AM

zoas are sweet throw some of those in there.

michaeldaly · 08/21/2006, 11:21 AM

gordon903 · 08/21/2006, 07:22 PM

i have a koran large does he eat any of these corals cause he eat all the snails

gordon903 · 08/21/2006, 07:24 PM

i have many tangs in both tanks and they dont bother the corals so i will have more tangs in this tank as well

gordon903 · 08/21/2006, 07:28 PM

ok i got extra zoos got 2 feather dusters to spare got alot of shroons got a nice leather and a urchin that should make a good start

The Koran may very well nibble on any corals you put in the tank. You said he was large and people have experiences with them being "reef-safe" as juveniles and then when they grow older they start to eat the corals.

gordon903 · 08/22/2006, 03:30 AM

thats what i was afraid of he is about 5 inches and starting to change to adult colors

ERICinFL · 08/22/2006, 06:59 AM

I don't think anyone named Caral would want to be shoved into a fish tank. A good low light coral however, would be a Chili Coral.

gordon903 · 08/22/2006, 06:37 PM

boy is my spelling bad i cant even spell coral but it was good for humor

gordon903 · 08/24/2006, 03:43 AM
