Just getting into SPS

[seriousdude5]

I've been keeping softies, lps, and zoos for awhile now and I'd like to start trying SPS corals. What is one of the easier sps corals to keep?

Sunset montipora and ORA Green Birdsnest have always been very hardy sps in my tank.

Montipora digitata

any of the green, orange, or purple montipora caps are good beginner sps frags to start off with.

I would recommend that you stay away from monti caps, they can become invasive and cause a problem after a year or two. Most any cheap captive raised acro will work just fine. The cheaper and the more common the better.

I tend to agree and if do it again; pink birdsnest. That would be my starter pick since its Hardy looks good and isn't an impossible piece to get out of the tank.

Where are you planning on but your frags. So local stores by my ask crazy money for frags..ones not even encrusted.

Ora corals are very hardy. See if you can grab a cheap frag from a friend.
