Beginner list.
Hi
Looking for a straight forward list of beginner corals. All I find is garbage content or run-on nonsense online of top 10. Although I'll be starting off propagating phytoplankton, copepods, antheopods, macro algae and seagrass of a variety in that order. Maybe even sponges and gorgon. I was looking for a simple list of beginner corals. Softies Lps & sps and anything I may be missing. I know xenia isn't hard but I hear it will take over a tank. I figured fraging would be the best start. Since I can have more fine control. |

Softies: Almost all of them. Only exceptions I can think of are the various non photosynthetic and maybe the yellow fiji leather.
LPS: Good starters for fragging are any of the branching Euphillia. Encrusting LPS are easier it you plan ahead and grow them on a thin plate that is easy to cut through. SPS: Plating and branching montipora are simple. Birdnest are also super easy. |

Thanks Took a while to reply, life got in the way. When I get some time I probably need to put together a spreadsheet with common and scientific names, grouped by family and difficulty and requirements. Then see if everyone agrees on it. I want something as simple as a flashcard for dummies lol. Something everyone can use at a glance. |
