I have a 37gallon fish tank

Currently I have

LPS
Frogspawn
Torchcoral

Soft Corals
Zoo's
Mushrooms
Star Polyp


I want more LPS.. but fairly easy ones that don't require direct feeding...

Any suggestions?
Next on my List was a Hammer Coral and Candy Cane

I want to get more color in the tank...

150W Sunpod HQI
24" Deep

Any acanthastrea will do well in there, also. They can be placed on the bottom of the tank.

he said he didnt want to feed...which in my opinion isnt a wise decision.

chalice corals are relatively easy corals and come in many bright varieties.

How hard is it to direct feed? I just don't have that much time to spare during the weekdays. I would like to keep feeding to the minimum... 2 - 3 times a week possibly.

Chip,
Would you put Acanthhastreas from middle towards the bottom of the tank? They wouldn't do well up at top huh?

The first thing you need to do is get that GSP off of your main rock work or you will be regretting it.

Forget the galaxia that was mentioned as it is a pretty aggressive coral with long sweepers.

Blaso's and zoas would really help color up the tank and you would not have to feed them. Chalice is another nice choice for color but they too are pretty aggressive. As Chip said, acans would do well. Some ricordia fld and ricordia yuma would also be a nice choice for color.

Oh and the acans would do well from the bottom to the middle.

Do you recommend sitting the GSP at the bottom of the sand?

I love ricordia but it's so hard to find... Sigh looks like this tank is going to be a softies tank. I guess ill keep my 2 LPS + a hammer

Yes the GSP will be fine on the sand. I'm shocked that you LFS does not carry ricordia since its really not hard to get. Several LPS corals have been recommended so there is no reason to keep it a softy only tank.

Fox coral


Physogyra is in the same family as the hammers, bubbles, etc.
