Hey guys!

I got some new coral frags. After a fellow reefer heard of my tank crash he gave me some coral and a little crab (cutest thing ever).




40 gallon cichlid tank;
Pseudotropheus socolofi (albino) x 1
Labidochromis caeruleus
x 1
Metriaclima greshakei x 2
Amatitlania nigrofasciata x 20
Pseudotropheus crabro x 1
6" pleco x 1

120 gallon saltwater

first are zoas, and maybe sps behind it. third is some sorta sps i think. about all i can tell haha sorry

[chevypride]

Are the zoas in the first picture the same as these

I got these ones from somewhere else, but there really small, just wondering if they'll grow big too.

Also, my tang is being a jerk and nipping the new zoas. But not the old ones, he hasn't actually hurt it, but he makes it close up for a bit... Anything I can do?

He's probably going for algae near the zoas. Those are palys I beleive.

Okay thank you!

Are all sps the same in regards to where they like to be in the tank? Direct light? High flow? Low flow? I just kinda threw them where they'd stay for now. Everyone seems happy so far haha. But I can't really tell. The zoas are open though so..

The sps are montipora digitata. High light and flow. All the polyps are out so I'd just leave them where they are. And no not all sps types like the same lighting and flow.

Thank you!

This is only my second set of coral, so hopefully I don't kill them.

Regarding sps, they're fairly hardy
