Corals best for Bare Bottom

reelredfish · 10/12/2015, 03:19 PM

So I am still stocking my high flow bare bottom tank. For those that have been bare bottom high flow for a while what corals seem to work best for our tanks?

Any pics would also be great as well.

On the bottom of my tank I have Zoas, blastos, duncans, xenia, SPS, mushrooms, palys, you name it it's there. Trying to cover up as much of the bottom as possible.

Thanks O2 many

You have any good pics so we can see how it looks?

Check out my webcam - www.o2manyfish.com/camera.htm its a pan tilt zoom camera so you can look across the entire bottom of the tank and zoom in and see all the different corals.

I have GSP growing on the bottom of my tank and I happen to be a huge fan of WWC's chalice bottom tank.

I have acans, favia and various branching euphillia on my bottom. Not a fan of encrusting or matting corals on the bottom, tho I do have a cap that grew down and is now on the bottom a little, but it was not intentional.
