I would like my next build to be a pico sized tank but with only one coral species in the tank. it will be a tiny tank something like 5 gallons or less with either all zoanthid corals or all acans. i’m going for a minimalistic look with a good sized rock in the middle of the tank and the corals will be on that.so to all the fellow reefers out there can u please help me choose: Acans or Zoas. But if you think there is another species of coral that will also look great in a species specific tank of this size i would love to hear.
 
I went with zoas from the two. I don't feed them and they grow and reproduce.
Acans you have to feed each mouth from what I understand. I didn't want to deal with the constant maintenance since I don't have a sump, algea reactor or any type of nutrient export.
