What kind of lighting? Do you test your water?

it is in his current tanks description.

with that kind of lighting you have a lot to choose from. Zoas will thrive anywhere in that tank (pobably best near the bottom), but don't be afraid of stony corals either as long as your calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium are stable and at a good level.

Zoas sound good. I recently got into zoas and purchased 3 frags arouns 40 polyps total. Now I have over 200. There are many color variants also. You could also go with any Euphyllia (frogspawn, hammer, torch) or a type of Bubble Coral or any softie really. STAY away from mushrooms. Dont make the same mistake I made.
