newbie's 20gallon

[kilo]

what kind of LPS and SPS are good starters? i want to expand the coral part of the tank
these will be small frags..
acan
frogspawn
hammer
acropora
polys
what do you guys think? :mrgreen::mrgreen:

I would wait until you have some success with the LPS corals before jumping into SPS corals, but some good starter SPS corals are the montiporas and digitatas.

The LPS corals you listed and the palys are all great beginner corals though.

blue linckia starfish need well established tanks right? i want one, but i wouldnt wana kill it

 

[little_fish]

indeed

 

[kilo]

so thats a no go, i noticed that the red one had a "easy" care level, why is that? would that one be ok? or do they both need like 6 months?

 

[little_fish]

the red linka or a red brittle/serpent start. The serpent and brittle stars are very easy to keep and make a great member of your CUC. I personally would place the red linkas on the same care level as the blue ones.

He won't stay there if there's not enough light.
