Easy sps for beginner

[mallorieGgator]

What are some easier sps? I have a bird of paradise frag I got from a local reefer and it was a fresh frag. Almost had it die but it's coming back now and is re-growing tissue and has full polyp extension in my tank. So, since it and all my other corals are doing great, I'd like to try a few more sps. I have an aquaticlife t5 fixture so it's got good reflectors. Also the tank is a 55 gallon. Using a large reef octopus skimmer as well. Any info would be great! Thnx!

Montipora digitata and monti cap would be good choices.

Most birdsnest are pretty hardy. Also pocillaporas and stylos.

green slimmers are pretty indestructable

Wow, thanks for the quick replies!

Staghorns and slimers are pretty hardy. Montipora capricornis can survive almost anything, within certain situations of course.

Looks like you're on your way to a successful tank! I wish you the best of luck!

By the way, how do you like your aquaticlife fixture? I had one and I absolutely despised it.

Thanks! I love my fixture! It's the one with the built in timer. It's so nice and does a great job reflecting light and casting it over the entire tank. It has only one cord which is awesome. It controls 2 bulbs at a time so I can have blues come on before whites to create more of a sunrise/sunset effect. Also has 8 blue moonlight LEDs which I keep on 24 hrs and are also controllable.

I wish I had as good of luck as you. Mine died after 6 months of use so I ditched it.
