Coral adivice

[tropicfish]

My tank is approximately four months old with power compact Coralife lights. I currently have several corals doing good...I have some bright green candy cane coral, mushrooms,radioactive green polyps, and orange sun coral. I was hoping someone could give me advice on some brightly colored corals that will not overgrow my 75 gallon tank. I want as bright of colors as I can get and ones that are not very aggressive. Any advice is appreciated

How many watts of PC (power compact) Light do you have? That info would help us to help you find corals that would do well in your set up.

your tank is still new no mater what you get I would stay away from a sps and lps untill your tank is a little more mature. There are alot of zoo's out there that have a beautiful color. If your any where near athens al, go by coral reef aquatics. at least you can see alot of optians

I suspect that you have a 4 feet long Coralife PC fixture. Does your Coralife fixture have 4 PC bulbs (4 x 65W)? If so, I guess your choice is somewhat limited to lower light corals.

There are many pretty mushrooms and zoanthids. Some leathers can be very pretty - bright neon green one for instance.

If you are afraid of some soft corals spreading and tanking over your tank, you can keep that type of corals, such as xenia, green star polyps, yellow polyps and clove polyps, on a rock and isolate it from the rest of the rock work. That way you can prune the corals as they try to spread out of their confinement.
