Blood Shrimps And Brain Coral.

[FLcracker94]

Ok, I currently have a blood shrimp in the tank. I'm going to get a 75 US ga tank, and put in an open brain coral and maybe one more blood shrimp.

1: Will the two blood shrimp be fine together?
2: Will an open brain coral have enough room in a 75ga tank?
3: I've heard that, some what like trees, If you give the brain coral more light, it will be greener, and if you put less light,it will be red or orange. Is this true?

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Thats part of the coloration question yeah. Coral color suffers (turns brown) when it either has too little light, not enough flowrate, not the right kind of flowrate, improper feeding, high nitrates, high phosphates, high dissolved organic compounds, or any combination thereof... Not quite as simple as just lighing
