Look into zoanthids or ricordia mushrooms. They're colorful and don't require much care.

some zoas or some mushrooms can add some color and are pretty hardy

Yep,rics and shrooms are a great 1st ,2nd and 3rd corals:lol:...i am slowly building my shroom tank...2 rics are also splitting and shrooms are starting to spread :bounce: happy times
That is what I was leaning toward. Just wanted some input on something I might not have thought of. I am not afraid of a great deal of care but I don't want to watch my corals die because I didn't quite understand all of their needs. I would rather start off with something a little forgiving and work my way up.

If you like the look of frogspawns, hammers and torch corals, any of those guys would be a good one to start with too.

Ahh,yes i forgot all about those....i really like my hammer,and i am planning on getting another one...just curios did you say what lights you had?
From the pics I have seen I do like frogspawns and hammers. They are very closely related aren't they? They look very similar at least. Torches I am not that familiar with I will have to find some. What are they listed under in live aquaria?
I have a 29g tank with 150w mh and 2x14w actinic t5s.

Torches are also closely related to frogspawns and hammers. They are all in the genus Euphyllia.

don't know much about MH's,but i would think thats plenty.....i have found with my hammer to fully open and extend it has to be in a pretty calm are of my tank
Ok, I have come to a decision. I WANT THEM ALL!!! I need a bigger tank. Looks like I have a lot of decision making ahead of me now that all of my equipment is here and working. One more question to help with this. Are there certain colors that look better under these lighting conditions than others? Which ones really pop out at you?

I don't think there are any corals that will look better than others under those lights. Your lights are great -- you should be able to keep whatever you want, and they will all look good!

the predator tank is under reconstruction at the moment. I have recently traded in most of my son's goldfish and replaced them with shovel nose catfish, needle nose gar, and an African knife. I am in the process of replacing his colorful fake plants with live plants, stumps, and driftwood to create a river environment. The pics are on the desktop and I will post them later when I am able to get on there.
