what LPS can i put in my tank?

[Dan Thrash]

i'm setting up at modded 12 gal nanocube with 72W PCs (1 actinic, 1 50/50, 1 10k). i change the stock pump for a MJ900 (230 gph) and a hydor flo wavemaker. i know i want to start with some ricordia and zoos...but i was hoping i could eventually get some LPS. initially i was thinking hammer or frogspawn and an open brain, but i'm worried about sweeper tentacles affecting the zoos/rics.

what LPS can i keep under these lighting conditions? besides that, what would you recommend for this setup? will any have a negative affect on the zoos/rics?

thanks for the help!

Acans are very hardy, and dont seem to mind being in a nano, Favia's have always liked my tank also. You'll probably have good luck with the "challice" typ of LPS corals like Echino's and Mycedium, Oxypora, etc. You actually have enough light and flow for most LPS. FWIW Zoo's are pretty aggressive, I've found them to be more trouble than they're worth in a nano. Rics also tend to sting their neighbors.
