| Harlequin Tuskfish | Re: Coral. Depends on the light that you have, but some pretty hardy ones: Zoanthids Mushrooms Ricordia Leathers (Practice chemical warfare, running carbon is a good idea with these) Pagodas These requre a bit more light, but are still relatively hardy. All may send out sweeper tentacles, so need a bit more space: Brain Corals (Favia, Lobophyllia, Wellsophyllia) Bubble Coral |

| Excellent Guesser :D | Re: Coral. I've also had really good luck with branching frogspawn and torch coral as far as Large Polyp Stony corals. Both can send out sweeper tentacles, but if far enough away from each other don't seem to have a problem. Do need good lights though.

| Tridacna maxima | Re: Coral. Saltwater Fish, Saltwater Fish Aquariums, Live coral, Live rock, and Home Aquarium Supplies here is a good site for researching corals and fish. I bought from him once but it wasn't a good experience, but his site has great information.

| Serpent Star | Re: Coral. Theres one thing i don't understand about selecting corals. The aggression. I understand that some of them sting other corals but how do you know which ones to select or where to place them? And is it ok to have peaceful and aggressive corals in the same tank as long as you place them further apart? Also Corals that eat fish, Is that a no go zone? OR is it ok as long as you keep them well fed? I want a tank full of anenome's but i know thats not possible ![]() |

| Harlequin Tuskfish | Re: Coral. There are different methods corals have of being aggressive. Some stony corals will sting anything up to 3 inches away with sweeper tentacles. Many soft corals will release toxins into the water, so it's important to run carbon with these. Others will simply overgrow their neighbors. You can combine most corals, as long as you look at their specific placement requirements and don't overcrowd. |

As for something for your clowns, they like toadstools, torches, frogspawns... Stuff like that. Sometimes they will host mushrooms. Also, what do you mean by Button Polyps?
