 |  Looking for something colorful
I am looking for something that I can add to my tank that will give it lots of color. I have two groups of polyps, one mushroom rock colony, pulsating zenia, and a rock full of feather dusters. Two clowns, two bangi cardinals, one flame hawk and one watchman goby. It is a 29 gallon so no more fish I want some coral of somekind. I really need some color. Any ideas |

mushroom are a great nano tank coral.if your patient and look hard you can find very colorfull mushroom and zoos.in a small tank it is important to choose easy to keep corals because they are harder to keep as stable.you did'nt say what lighting you have.
