Hey guys, I'm new to de saltwater world and I would love to hear some tips and opinions of you.
In those pictures you guys can see the front view and the top view of my tank.

(I did add more rocks on the top view picture)

The corals there I'm intending to put are soft and 2 or 3 lps.
The ones there I'm thinking are mushrooms, zoanthids, palythoas, cloves, leather and duncan but I'm open to suggestions.

What I thought:
Green: mushroom island
Red: Zoas and palys
Orange: zoas and palys
Light blue: cloves
Pink: Duncan
Yellow: Leather
Dark blue: Don't know, maybe ricordea or gsp metallic?
Black: Maybe mushroom green hair
Purple: maybe leather finger or kenia tree
White: hammer, frog or torch

Help me, please!

(Sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language)

Make sure you leave room to clean your glass. Gsp and cloves will take over. Be sure there is room for them to spread. They def. need islands. Palys will also encrouch and wipe out zoas. I'd put palys on their own rock!

Nice list. I have two tanks, a 50 cube and a 180 gallon. I just wanted to throw out that in my 50 cube, my lps & Euphyllia didn’t respond well when i added a leather. They can release toxins and in a small body of water it affected things. Maybe you’ll have better luck, just something to keep in mind is all. Happy reefing!!

Thanks, man! I heard about that but totally forgot, my tank is a cube of 40cm, I will keep an eye on that, maybe I will switch leather too
