Soft coral aggresive?

[clowntriggerfis]

what does it mean when it says coral is aggresive specificly tree corals but also just corals in general thanks

 

[StephLionfish]

Different reasons.
GSP is agressive because they grow very quickly and can smother other corals.
Kenyas can be aggressive because they multiply like mad.
Some corals have a powerful sting that will kill other corals.

are they mean to fish and inverts like shrimp and crabs? and could I do a tree coral tank with out a problem?and are tree corals soft corals I think they are but not 100% sure

No they aren't mean to fish and inverts. Yes you could do an entire tank no problem. Yes they are considered soft corals. I will warn you that once you add them you will have a million of them and they are somewhat hard to control growth wise. A lot of people hate them because they spread so fast and take up all the room in the tank. But if you like them then you shouldn't mind having a ton of them. Best of luck

Some corals ( Such as those hairy mushrooms) can eat fish. I've seen it on multiple occasions...

 

[clowntriggerfis]

but not trees right, because those are my favorite corals

 

[StephLionfish]

Not Kenya Trees.. If those are what you are talking about?

 

[clowntriggerfis]

I was thinking a mix of trees including neon pineapple, taro, purple, taylors purple,purple passion.

 

[StephLionfish]

I'm not familiar with those... are they Leathers? Leathers won't eat fish, but they can release stuff into the tank and mess with other corals.( Pretty sure that's leather that do that...) Run carbon or skim ( or both) and keep them from other corals, and that shouldn't be a problem.

Some "tree" corals can wage war through alleopathy, releasing toxins in the water to prevent stony corals from encroaching. I've not experienced this in my tank but it's something that some activated carbon can take care of.

ok but that is not a problem it will be all trees
