My 3g pico



Some of my favs include the big hammer (there are multiple), the 5" green toadstool, and the orange plating monti. Favorite (and only) fish is Julius the Green Clown Goby, who usually is looking out from the glass perched on the green toad. Favorite inverts here are sexy shrimp

I really like your Ricordea btw! I would love to have a feather duster in my 3g but for now all I have is a bunch of little calcareous worms lol.

Thank you! A few very hardy beginner corals (that I started with) include green star polyps, zoanthids, various mushrooms, xenia, ricordea, and anthelia. Of those, Anthelia, zoas, and mushrooms are usually the cheapest. These are all softies, btw. The other half of my corals are lps.

All of these corals like good light, good water conditions, and relatively high flow (except for possibly the xenia and ricordea, which prefer lower flow.)

Many people build beautiful tanks with high end sps, but I believe you can make just as beautiful a tank with a good selection of softies and lps!

Oh got it haha thankfully my tank is in good paramount conditions haha but thanks for suggestions haha

 

[dingusplease]

Oops, sorry! That's just my general response to q's about beginner corals, and wrong thread!

Btw, what lighting is the bright orange ricordes pic under? The orange really looks great!

 

[ryn_C_mu]

Oh that thing haha it's fake the only living one is the green one on the frag

 

[dingusplease]

Also, may I ask what size is your tank, equipment, fish, etc? Always interesting to hear about someone else's tank lol

 

[dingusplease]

Oh that thing haha it's fake the only living one is the green one on the frag

Oh haha well green one still looks great

I've never had any ricordea Florida, and I actually really want to get some floridas even though everyone else seems to like yumas more. I like that the floridas have more abstractly, larger sized tnetacles than Yuma.

Here's my 10g mixed reef

My favorite coral is front and center, this frogspawn is growing pretty quickly

This Duncan is loving this tank, and another of my favorite lps

Both are hardy lps once you get a hang of keeping stable levels.
Edit: man I need to clean the glass

I know what you mean, I only frag when I need room, or a friend asks for something

 

[bribo12]

Yeah the only thing that regularly gets pruned is my green birdsnest. Thing is a weed
