bright corals?

Lyscer · 03/03/2006, 11:56 AM

I want to have a very bright tank. What corals could I get that would be bright? So far my bright ones consist of a pink birdsnest, green slimer, frogspawn, green fuzzy mushrooms, and green zoos. I'm looking at getting some red/pink/blue zoos. I would like some other softies but I'm not sure what to even look for as most of the LFS here only have brown corals.

Things that come to mind...
- red and green candycane
- neon green candycane
- shrooms and zoas come in colours like blue, red, green, purple, pink, orange, yellow and many combinations of colours
- yellow sun coral
- yellow frilly leather
- green leather
- pink leather
- yellow polyps
- green and pink hammer
- red and green open brain
- red gorgonian

And I agree, don't get sucked in and buy dyed corals. If it looks too good to be true, it most likely is.

Nothing beats the blue/purple from mushrooms. Just be sure to keep them isolated so they don't overgrow your other corals

yes, i say zoo's ricordea polyps and other actiniodiscus/disosoma mushrooms can easily make for quite a beautiful tank! all sorts of colors to choose from and not hard to keep at all, at least until they try taking over each other, lol
