Bubble coral

[Deshawn00]

I’m new to the saltwater hobby and plan on starting a 20 gallon long innovative marine tank. I really want to get some bubble coral but I don’t know if they’re right for me just starting out. I heard they need low to medium light and flow. Any tips help

I could be wrong about this as I have never had a bubble coral, but I believe that they are similar in difficulty as torches, and that you cannot grab their bubbles or let their bubbles touch their skeleton, as they can cause some damage. So I would say don’t get it as your first coral, I would say get some other corals to build your confidence and then get one

i have bubble coral and they certainly have been a bit more challenging for me. i would maybe start out with some easier corals and work towards the bubble

"low to medium light and flow" is a huge range, and what some consider low light some others might think of it as high light, there is no consensus as to what is low or high. Welcome to the hobby, I suggest to get a bit of experience and more research before buying corals.

I personally would start with something easier than bubble corals (toadstool, mushrooms and zoas to name a few)
