It's hard to screw up a mushroom coral. Depending on how powerful your lights are you may have to put it up high to begin with. I run a t5 fixture with 6 54 watt ho bulbs on a 75 gallon tank and I have to put mine on the bottom.

Mushrooms, xenia, green star poylps, kenya tree coral. These corals not only are easy to keep put grow very fast.

Add Brown button polyps to the list. IMO, they are beautiful in large colonies and are very easy to keep as well. I bought a single colony in Oct and it has split into 3 larger colonies, the largest being 34 polyps (originally 5). Rock on Brown Button Polyps! :beer:

i second the mushrooms easy to keep and require little light plus they are cheap to get
