Frogspawn or yellow polyps?

[JokersAce69]

It's been awhile since i posted, i need some insight! So.. it's almost christmas and i'm looking at coral to buy. On my list of coral is frogspawn (euphyllia paradivisa) my current lighting is a 2x24 watt t5. Would this be okay under these lights? The tank is a 20 gallon. Or.. Should i get this good deal on yellow coral polyps? How are they under this lighting? I'm mainly looking to add some color. So these two are the last that i'm up in the air about.

Hello joker...

are they sun polyps or the small yellow polyps? Frog spawn is nice and your lights are ok minimal but ok. If it's the yellow polyps keep them away from the rest of your live rock because if they like your tank it will go everywhere (like Visa). Sun polyps are another story and they need to be fed (each individual poly) almost every day. If you're not careful with feeding them your tank can very easily get too much nutrients and cause other issues. Good luck with your tank.

Those yellow polyps will also be spread by to much flow and your clean up crew.

They are definitely yellow polyps, i have read/heard they spread like weeds. Which is why i was looking at the frog spawn.

Frogspawn is a much better choice. I got those yellow polyps when I started and no one told me they spread and kill everything they touch.
