I've been growing out my xenia and somewhat fragging it but then letting it attach itself to different rocks in the tank so it spreads. I've got a colony that about 8" in diameter right now? Even though its a hardy easy coral im still proud its growing so much i need to ask my LFS about bringing in frags for store credit, I believe they do, because i once asked to sell them some baby margarita snails and they said we should be able to work smth out.One plus to Xenia invasiveness is that it sells for much more than it’s worth. I put mine on the rock so that it can spread and I take some to the lfs every time I go to get some store credit (which means more corals).
For a first euphillia I would suggest frogspawn. They tend to be the hardiest variety. Hammers are hit or miss (wall is hard, branching is supposed to be easier). Torch is good but often difficult.
Mine are in every coral in the bottom center of the tank. Torch, GSP, but they seem to REALLY love the duncan in the sandbed I don't know whyi also have a pair of ocelaris what would they look better in hosting???
Seems like clowns prefer duncans. I think it is because they aren’t as easily irritated.Mine are in every coral in the bottom center of the tank. Torch, GSP, but they seem to REALLY love the duncan in the sandbed I don't know why
I personally like frog spawn morei was thinking torch or frogspawn what do you think would be cheaper probably the frogspawn right idk though what would be better looking
my duncan used to close whenever they touched it but its much more tolerant and doesnt close now. it seems like it packs a powerful sting though, they would always have black spots on them.Seems like clowns prefer duncans. I think it is because they aren’t as easily irritated.
It’s taken a while for my torch to not close up instantly when the clowns touch it. It was really closing up and looking bad then. They have slowed down with it too (I think it stung them too much). It is doing much better now and much more open (now double headed and both of those are starting to split).
For some great beginner corals I would recommend:
- GSP
- Any zoas
- Xenia is nice but it can become quite invasive. But if you're new to coral sometimes it nice to know something is growing quickly
- Discosoma mushrooms.
-Some hammer corals are pretty hardy, but I would personally just stick with softies.
My first corals were GSP, mushroom, duncan, candy canes and a torch. One died recently and the torch has been very small for the past few months.
