So, I crashed into this reefing hobby with the full enthusiastic intent of keeping multiple varieties of zoanthids only to discover that my young cat Keplar tends to stick his paw in the rear filter compartments of my tank (I have yet to figure out why he finds this entertaining.) Additionally, I have discovered that I also tend to just wontedly shove my hand in my aquarium without really thinking about it. Since I have ADHD, and I am 33, I know myself well enough to know that I can't really depend on myself to remember to put my gloves on every time I do something in my tank.
Since palytoxin is a thing which I would rather not have myself or my darling Keplar fall prey to, no matter how completely gorgeous zoanthids are, I'm posting here in this temple of LPS discussion in the hopes that someone can recommend me some great, undemanding and colourful LPS corals to keep instead! I already have Blastomussas on my wishlist and I have an island set aside for a Euphillia garden.
Bonus points if there's a variety that comes in purple and turquoise because I'm attracted to that colour combo like a hummingbird to nectar.
(Also should go without saying but please don't try to convince me to keep zoanthids afterall. I've already decided that that risk is too much for me and my two year old feline sweetheart Keplar. I really want to stick to LPS corals for the most part because, well, I really don't seem to like most soft corals and I am not ready to venture into the waters of SPS.)
This is Keplar; he's a big fan of my little reef tank. I would like to avoid worrying about his bizarre habit of sticking his paw in the salty brine.
