    I have just got a couple of starter corals for my tank, and they seem to be doing pretty well. I have a couple of mushrooms, polyps and pulsating Xenia. Is there anything I should be adding to the water (i.e. supplementations, food, extra calcium) Also do these type of corals require to be fed?

    Thanks,

    Those corals are a good choice to start ;D

    They do not require alot of calcium, but it is not a bad idea to start getting the regiment down...it may take some time to get into a routine that works for you.

    Also , the Xenia should have Iodine....get a test kit, do not rely on directions that say 'add X drops per gallon every so many days"  

    Test for it and keep it at the proper dosages.  Too much can be harmful.

    Good Luck! You seem to be off to a good start!

    I don't feed mine really.  Just whatever they get on their own and with photosynthesis. :D
