What corals can I keep, if any?

[dynamixone]

Tank is 120g

I have two anemones which are doing great.

I was wondering if there were any corals then can standup to these fish.

I have:

1 juvi imperator
1 niger trigger
2 Bannerfish
1 tomato clown

Just for some added color....

thanks!

Artifical corals are pretty.

You dont want to hear this but its me. You need to decide if you want a reef tank or a FOWLR tank. A reef tank means you want colorful wierd coral and some fish for cleanup and eyecandy.You have 1 the tomato.Loose the clown and get a few more FO fish or loose the FO fish and get coral and more reef type fish.There i said it,hate me if you want but i only typed and may have wasted my time. Cheers :beer:

just wondering if some noxious yet colorful corals i had in the past such as galaxia would work.

the tomato is doing great and all fish get along nicely.

Thing thing with FO type fih is they tend to eat your CUC and are much messy eaters and both make keeping water quality in ranges needed for coral. It might be possible but i cant see even 1 coral not leading to many coral.
Anybody can keep a fish god a monkey can do it.Coral are much more demanding.

I am pretty sure that with any kind of trigger that you cant keep corals.

THe trigger eats CUC and i think hte other is an angel fish which nips at poylps and eats CUC.

I think snails and hermits have more worry about from the trigger then the corals.

 

[demonsp]

Yup.But the CUC help keep water quality higher and coral would like this.

the lighting is just as important to the equation as the livetstock right? I have a 120 as well and haven't gotten to that point but it is critical to their (corals) success.
