never tried keeping corals in my tank though all the fishes are reef safe. please suggest some species which i should try as a beginner with corals.

also would be happy if someone would provide some small frags for placing in the tank as my LFS has no corals for sale

This is awesome. Wish I could find it somewhere here...although my bet says it'd be decimated by my two urchins? Hard to find Pocillopora here as well for some reason.
I’ve been looking for a few years. .
Fragbox had one colony awhile ago . But I passed on it .

no one wants them . Supply and demand I guess .

My Tyree Pink Lemonade grows like a weed. Same with the blueberry Nasuta next to it. Bubblegum digi as well.

When it comes to coral growth, fast and easy are two adjectives we like to hear! Those two words can't always go together when it comes to SPS corals but it can be the case with certain corals. So let's talk about the sps corals in your tank that grow fast and easy!

green pocillopora, the only way I've found to kill it is to keep a bi-color blenny with it (apparently the polyps are delicious)
This for me and I will have to try that bi colored some day. Not even fire kills this stuff

Be careful what you wish for. All of these corals will grow rapidly and soon become weeds you must contend with, because they'll start overgrowing other, sometimes expensive, slower growing corals. You'll have to do lots of pruning, so make sure to get some good bone cutters too (eBay, look for German SS).

WOW! Those Germen Veterinary Double Action Bone Cutter 12" Scissor Curved SS probably function well, but the price?
