So I want to dress up my tank and make it a little more decorative. I currently have a dogface puffer a humu and a clown trigger with a blue faced angle. I was thinking of trying to make it more ocean like and less like a glass box with rocks. What corals could i add with these fish. Would they bother mushrooms, ricordias, leathers or any of the soft corals? I Was also thinking of maybe some gsp or frogspawn, these types of things. I know my dogface ate all my zoas so I know those won't fly. So what are people putting in there fowler tank for decoration?
Thanks

fake corals
your puffer and triggers will destroy your corals just for something to do or eat them or both, ofcorse they will also destroy the fake corals overtime as well
dont know aout your particular angel with corals

Not one sessile invert (coral) or any other invert for that matter is safe with a puffer. My stars and stripes ate zoas, mushrooms, and rics. My Humu Humu ate zoas and nibbled on a mushroom or 2. That's why I have separate Reef and FOWLR tanks now. Fake Corals can be nice. Here is a pic of my old 55g with fresh base rock in the DT (live rock in the sump) and some fake corals.

The fish you have need to have a FOWLR. Hence the "Fish Only" designation. The will eliminate corals quickly. Fake corals do a nice job brightening up a FOWLR but be prepared to clean them regularly

Maybe some nice Macro algae would work

In addition, I would be concerned if the water quality would be there for corals -- given that those fish are in a 90 gallon tank.

Yea water quality is a big deal but a puffer is not to be trusted with any coral.....

I have Green Star Polyps in my FOWLR with a DFP and a Picasso Trigger. It's been about 2 months and the polyps are doing great. Of course every fish is different and I had a much different experience some Zoanthids.$20 bucks was gone in about 20 seconds.
