NPS at school

[asid61]

How hard are NPS to keep? I want to keep one in a tank at school in a couple months when school starts again. The tank is ~36"x18"x16" with a 60 gallon whisper filter on it,~30lbs of live rock, and a 22 watt flourescent with an aquari-lux bulb on it.
Can I keep one or two NPS in it?

Nps corals vary tremendously in their ease of care. NPS LPS are relatively easy to take care of. NPS gorgonians and soft corals are much more challenging due to their need to be fed continuously. I'm pretty sure you could keep various NPS LPS corals such as dendros, rhizos, balanos, and tubastrea easily.

If you have kept corals and such at school successfully you might want to look at setting up a Cerianthus (tube anemone) specific tank. They are relatively hardy, easy to maintain with feeding, and absolutely beautiful to observe.
