List of corals that perculas might host to...

[Martini5788]

I am looking for a few hardy corals that I can get some frags of that my onyx perculas might choose to host in the future. From my info I have gathered so far it's gsp, frogspawn, hammer, torch, Xenia. Are there any to add to that list? I really like the soft flowy corals, and I am a beginner and have read that they are easier to grow. I would like to start with the easy stuff that doesn't have high light requirements.

GSP would be my choice and I would avoid euphyllia corals for that purpose. I had a pair of snowflakes a while ago hosted by a frogspawn. The frogspawn had such a strong sting that it damaged one of clowns mouth. The mouth literally looked deformed and it took a week or so for it to heal and go back to normal.

I am a coral newbie, so which ones are euphyllia corals?

Add toadstools to your list. My clowns host the corners of my tank very near the toadstool but very actually hosted a coral.

I had an open brain coral hosting my clowns before.. likely a common occurrence. And they are easy to keep.

Ok so gsp, frogspawn, hammer, torch, Xenia, mushrooms, anthelia, open brain, Duncan's, toadstool, and elegance?

I hear a lot of people saying no to gsp. Is that because they grow really fast and are hard to contain?

Probably, Martini.

Anything even remotely squishy, really! The ones listed are the most common I can think of, though.
