Hey! I’m finally starting to add some coral to my IM 20g, and wanted some suggestions. Obviously I already have some I’m wanting to get, but I’m just wondering what others think would look good, as I don’t know too many coral. Im open to pretty much anything that my equipment would be good for, just nothing super hard, or specific. I’m running an AI Nero 3, and a HyperReef 100. Here’s my tank for some reference

Caulastrea (candy canes) and zoas! My first two corals and still amongst my favorites.

Acans did well for me early on too, and appreciate lower flow.

Easy LPS such as can’t canes, blastos and acans. Softies sinularia, zoas, and gsp.
