shopping for coral
I would like to know which coral of the following is the easiest to care for. (I have 156watts of T5 lighting)
Hammer, torch or frogspawn? Thanks! |

I think they're all about equal in terms of care. I've heard they don't ship as well as other corals, so it might be better to get them locally.
I have a hammer and a torch, and am a newbie, and both have done well so far.

They're all very similar. Looks for healthy specimens which have all of their heads attached, good color (not bleached out), and extended.
