What coral to buy

[reefman1234]

Hello i am coming back into the hobby after a couple of months break. What coral should i get, i want something cheap, great for beginners, needs minimal work and has movement and bright colour. Please help in giving me suggestions

Always a big fan of rainbow cloves, also called disco or fireworks. About as easy a coral as there is.

That one is pretty easy. Depending on lights leather corals are pretty easy as well.

It depends on what colors your going for. I’m always a fan of neon green nepthea, and green star polyps (though keep the GSP isolated as it can take over). I also like the Colt Corals and maybe a corky finger gorgonian. I’d stick with soft corals for easiness. Green toadstools as well (especially the long polyp/weeping willow varieties). Many mushrooms are easy as well (and there’s nice varieties and colors depending (from basic greens and red to ones like OG Bounce, Sunkist bounce, etc) - some of these can be relatively invasive. I also like pulsing Xenia and Kenya trees (but both are also an invasive coral if not kept in check)

If you are close to San Francisco come see me. I got some zoas, mushrooms, and softies.

That is a bit too far from me. You should get good prices on corals there maybe. Kinda curios how much the coral is and fishes in your area.

Yeah a bit to far i don't know what coral cost over there so i don't know if it is cheap of expensive in comparisons zoas are around $10 AUD and i would say the mid point is about $50-$70 AUD otherwise
