it's Ok, but you'll need to clean and bleach the fake corals every month or two to keep the growth off them. otherwise they'll be covered like the rocks in a few months.

you are not going to want fake coral taking up room in your tank,, fake coral is for lazy people who don't want to have to worry about live coral,, but the fact is that its not even hard to take of a reef,, esp a 180 gallon one

take a simple question and turn it into a bash and an insult.

Re: Live rock+ fake coral?
If youre worried about keeping em alive, Id start with some softies. Theyre pretty easy to keep alive, and will probably be cheaper than fake corals in the long run (once they grow). I think once you get further into the hobby, you will end up ditching the fake corals for live ones in the long run. Unless youre going for a FOWLR tank, and dont want them to be eaten, then like Rick said, just bleach em every couple months.
