Advice to start in corals

Hi I have a 125 tank and i will love to start to introduce corals in my tank I have the following fishes: clown trigger, blue face trigger, sailfin, yellow eye, blue spot tang, majestic and flame angel and a hummblr damesel.

I know that some of my fishes are not compatibles with several corals but i will like to know which ones i could introduce in my tank.

Thanks

Carlos J

bright green candy cane's are an awesome coral that I haven't seen any of my fish pay attention to. Under actinics they light up my tank.

Re: Advice to start in corals

The lights that you have are important. Your angels (the majestic in particular) are really the fish that are going to eat corals.

You are probably limited to soft corals such as leathers and mushrooms. That's pretty much it. You can try other corals, but there's a good chance that fish will eat them.

not only the angel, but the clown trigger will mess up a bunch of your coral. they love new stuff to play with.
