    Just wondering if anyone has any Coral suggestions for my 24 gallon aquapod? Here is what i have as of now
    -24gallon aquapod, stealth heater, 2 koralia pumps, xenia, green button polyps,
    -green star polyps, 2 mushrooms, 2 false percula clownfish, 1 firefish, several crabs and snails

    I was thinking Frogspawn, mushrooms ?
    I am looking for something fairly inexpensive that would do well in my tank...

    Any advice would be greatly appriciated... thanks in advance

    A frogspawn would be a great addition, as would a hammer. These 2 are my favorite corals so far!

    There are many variations of mushrooms and they don't mind lower light. Ours did fine in our 29 gal. nano with the compact lighting, and they are even happier in our 55 gal. with T6 lighting. We have some very nice green with white stripe (or white with green stripe. . . lol), and some beautiful blue/purple mushrooms.

    I honestly don't know I have metal halides so I never worry about lighting issues. Someone else will have to chime in!

    hammers are light forgiving in some cases, and since frogspawn is in the same family (along with torch), they can do fair in low light..

    the essential question is what kind of lighting do you have!?

    I like ricordeas. I have rics and a frogspawn in my pod, but I upgraded to from 2x32w bulbs to 3x40w bulbs.
