What are the best corals for nano reef for someone who’s reasonably new to marine tanks and brand new to nano reefs? I'm exploring possibilities as I look to expand my hobby (have a 55-gallon marine tank in hubby's office, wanting a nano reef of about 25-30 gallons for mine).

Literally just gave my long/short answer on someone elses thread. To keep it short Softies are going to be the easiest to care for. They require the lowest PAR, tolerate some swings in water quality, and relatively low flow.

If you advise as to what your equipment is we can better direct you toward success.
