Hello guys, how is it going? I’ve added this GSP coral to my tank 2 weeks ago, and I’m very happy with it. I love how it glows under the blue light. And I’m wondering what should I add next? I’m afraid of zoas, because they are toxic, and I’m not sure about pulsing xenias because they don’t glow under the blue light. So any good ideas of a easy to care coral that would glow under the blue light?

Thanks

Don’t stress about the toxic zoas. The only ones that should be a problem are the large ugly palythoas, and even then it’s only really a concern when you’re fragging them and just slicing and dicing. If you are that concerned make sure you use gloves and eyewear when handling, but I never do and most people don’t.
 
Agree with tdileo. Zoa's toxicity is not a reason to avoid owning them if you like their looks. They're pretty easy going for the most part and come in a huge variety of color combos. If you're really opposed to them, you could try some clove polyps.
 
Mushroom corals are not a bad idea if you need poorly lit space to fill. Ricordeas and rhodctis shrooms look nice, and are easy to keep.
