Coral suggestions anyone??

[churc1ej]

I've had my tank up for about 6 months now and I've been interested in getting some coral. Right now all i have is a false perc. clown, a starry blenny, and cleaner shrimp and a handful of hermits. Is there a coral that anyone can suggest for beginner. My tank is also 36 gallons so i dont know if come coral would get too large for the tank? I was thinking about some zooanthids, mushrooms, and some richordia.

Thanks for any suggestions!

What lighting system do you have over the tank? If you have a regular fluorescent tube, included with most systems, it will be inadequate for coral.

Right now I have the regular fluorescent tube, but I was going to upgrade to a T5 HO 10K and actinic. Sorry forgot to mention the lighting

I've got pc lighting and I started with some zoas and palys. Mushrooms would be good too.

A 2xT5HO hood would do fine for shrooms, zoas and palys, and other softies. Maybe even some easy LPS in the upper half of the tank.
