So I'm not quite ready for corals in my 75g, but getting close. I've added the first fish, and my plan was to add fish and corals together over time. I've done some reading, and looking around and found many corals that I like. I imagine it's best to start with softies, but I'd also like to try LPS and some of the easier SPS (Montipora sp, for instance).
The tank is 75g, the lighting is two Aqua Illumination Hydras and for water movement I have a Vortech MP10 and two Koralias.
Here are some softies I like, based on pics I've seen. I know some of these are easy to find, and others, I have no idea whether they're readily available or not. Which (if any) of these would be a good "first" coral to add to this tank?
Blue Ridge Coral (Heliopora coerulea)
Devil's Hand Leather Coral (Lobophytum sp.)
Colt Coral (Klyxum sp.)
Blue Xenia (Cespitularia sp.)
Red Dead Man's Fingers (Alcyonium palmatum)
Neon Pineapple Tree Coral (Capnella sp.)
Red Tip Tree Coral (Stereonephthya sp.)
Carnation Tree Coral (Dendronephthya sp.)
Nephthea
If none of these are good starters, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks!
