Stick with soft corals - I'd especially stay away from any small polyp
stony stuff until you have some experience.

Zooanthids are a nice begginer choice - very hardy and they come in all
sorts of cool colors (may fade a bit if they don't have enough light, tho.)

Xenia are cool are fairly hardy as well. Fun to watch - the polyps
constantly and continually open and close - they look like little pink
hands constantly grabbing at the water.


How much CF light (watts per gallon) do you have?
