Appropriate sps selection

[ludiNano]

I would like to select some appropriate SPS coral for my 10g nano. It already has some zoo's, mushrooms, green star polyps, red knob starfish, some hermits.

aqua clear 10g powerhead
mini jet 606
peng. 150 filter
96w50/50 corallife- 8 hrs
nitrates-nitrites-ammon.-at 0.
salinity- 1.024
calcium- 420-440
temp: 78
LR: 13lb
LS: 10lb

Montipora digitata would be my first suggestion.

you should try the SPS section, they may be more informed there. I have a green slimer that has been doing well, and I am no sps expert.

The SPS forum probably would have been a better place to ask but...
Montipora digitata or M. capricornis are good beginner corals. More common Pavona species (potato chip coral etc....)are also pretty hardy. Tank raised will typically do better than others. Not sure where you are but if you have a reef club nearby you should be able to get some frags of those corals for pretty cheap or free.

What's a red knob starfish? The one that comes to my mind isn't reef safe.

But might also be a bit aggressive for a ten gallon tank.
