So i building a new tank(24"x18"x20") and want to have some colorful corals this is what I was thinking about having

thin Branch Pink Birds Nest

Green Birds Nest Coral
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...catid=1677&N=2
Green Apple Cap Coral
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...catid=2498&N=2
Chili Coral
http://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4
Those are all the hard corals I want but I will also have a few soft corals that are ez to handle. I'm trying to keep only a small amount of coral to keep the tank very artsy. I am also looking for a relative ez blu coral, can anyone recommend one? I will also be using a 24" TEK T5 HO and want advice for light config. to grow these corals.

That site got it 100% wrong on the chili coral. They are not "easy" by any means. Their completely non-photosythetic, will wilt and shrivel under bright illumination, need to be fed daily, preferably multiple times daily since they derive no nutrition at all from lighting. I'dpersonally ignore this one completely, and get a second green birdnest

The ora green birdnest is on the top 5 list of my favorite corals of all time! Shame that I've managed to kill every frag of it I've gotten. One stupid mistake after another.
