Hey guys, it's geoff - I am one with the 120 gallon and the huge lunar wrasse.

My question is about low maintenance corals. I am going to be setting my Nano cube (12g) back up in my office. I am in the office in the mornings but not everyday. I was just wondering about some corals or if you guys had some suggestions about what i should put in the tank. I will not see the tank on the week ends and some days i do not even come to the office. So any suggestions would be great

Zoas and other softies are always easy choices for an office tank. I will likely evolve into keeping some LPS in my work tank, too, but you almost can't go wrong with zoas...

Yeah, can't go wrong with zoas and softies... lol I have some xenia that spread like wildfire... Only thing you'd have to do with them is cut'em back every once and again... Or just set it far enough away from everything else that it can't spread...

Zoanthids, xenia, mushrooms -- some of the hardier ones because small office tanks take salinity swings more than anything else. If you don't rig an auto-topoff for when you are out, be sure to get a co-worker to top it off for you.

If you want fool-proof, just put some aptasia in there. ;) And for that brown, fuzzy look, I could set you up with some hydroid jellyfish that nothing short of a nuke (perhaps) can kill. :D
