Hey guys, I’ve recently set up my first saltwater tank and added in my first corals. I’ve got a GSP on its own rock, one rock for zoas to grow on, a Duncan on another rock, and only a forest fire digitata frag on my biggest rock. All are doing great so far (added them in about 3 weeks ago) especially the Duncan.

I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for one more coral to add on my biggest rock that wouldn’t sting my forest fire digitata coral.

As for livestock I have two small clowns, two small hermits, a tiger conch, and a trochus snail. There was a bit of algae growing on the rocks as seen in the photos (taken about a week ago) but the clean up crew has since taken care of it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I would make the bigger rock an SPS only area, it’ll look cool and would give a bit of a contrast to the meaty LPS and softies around it.

You can have many different kinds of montis, Stylopora, Pocelophora, Seriatopora and even a simple acros like Stughorns.
Later on when you have a bit more confidence with acros, you’ll have plenty of choice to choose from.
