    I have only had fish only tanks before. I set this new one up with corals in mind. It has been going now for over 5 months and I am ready to start adding corals. I waited this long because I wanted to make sure it was running just the way I wanted it. Params are good. Fuge is nice and loaded with pods. So what would you suggsest I start with given my lack of experience and my lighting. Only VHO so I will stick with softies for now...

    star polyps, mushrooms, button polyps are all good starter corals and very hardy.

    Can't go wrong with zoas, I also like leathers and mushrooms. I had them all as some of my first corals and they did very well.
