|  New to Corals
I have just started my tank and now I want to get some info. on the basics of corals. Not so much which ones are good or feeding, but basic, like how do you place them? (Can I just put the frag on rock and it will take hold?) How do you acclimate them? Can they touch the air or not? and any other question you may deem important. thank in advance. _________ 55 gallon glass aquarium, Remora Skimmer, 3 maxi-jet 1200 power head, 4x54w T5 lighting fixture, 2 10,000k and 2 actinic bulbs, 40lbs caribbean live sand, 55 lbs fiji live rock... Inhabitants: 1 ocellaris clownfish, 1 yellow tailed damsel, 1 six line wrasse, 1 crocea clam, 6 astraea snails, 4 nassarius snails, 2 hermit crabs, pink button polyp, yellow fiji leather, 1 closed pineapple brain coral My Tank Thread |

See: Corals, What They Are and How They Live, by J. Charles Delbeek
"...They are mysterious guests from an exotic world. Unlike anything else we keep in an aquarium, they represent the essence of the coral reefs that we try to duplicate in our living rooms. Our success at this effort depends greatly on how well we understand these unusual life forms..." _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
