Re: new additions!

yeah, i'm considering that route. any tips on keeping them alive? like light. i know that they are low light corals but how low? what type of light? another option i'm looking at is getting sea fan skeletons. my LFS has a huge one (1 1/2 feet tall and the same wide) but the owner doesn't want to sell it. i think i'll be able to persuade him though.

Re: new additions!

stay away from red and yellow. purples and browns are photosynthetic and are much easier to keep.
