Question on Corals that don't sting

[xNOTLOCx]

those are cool but i wanted something that doesnt sting becuase my fish arent all adapted for stinging anenomes or corals and i dont want them eaten thats true tright? so do you know any soft corals that dont sting i really love bubble coral i heard its easy but does it sting?

 

[Matthew5664]

Bubble corals arn't soft corals belive it or not there LPS.


I think somthing like a Xenia or mushroom coral would be ok.

 

[SkiFletch]

Sacrophytons, kenya tree, zoos, spaghetti leather, green star polyps, are some good examples of non-stinging softies

oh thanks, ya i love the softies just noth their sting, so i want ubble coral too does it still sting if it isnt a soft type?

 

[Matthew5664]

Yes that do still 'sting' in a word. They use a sweeper tentical to 'hunt' for food so any very small fish/shrimp might get eaten! Also they need a good amount of light and a little bit of current.

ya i just bought a 170$ lighting system at my lfs and my cureent is prolley a lil too good i dno if im gonna b able to get a seahorse in a year or so... well thats ok as long as i feed it right? it wont eat any of my fish??? or my bigger ones i mean, will it interfere with an elsectric scallop or should i seperate them.

What lighting is it , as the cost doesnt give us any technical info on it

Nems need mature tanks (stability), VHO Lighting (MH) & knowledgeable owners

oh ya here hold on ill give you some stats, dual daylight (6,700k/10,000k) dual actinic (420nm/460nm)
n a built in moonlight. ya ive been researching corals and polyps and everything that i like and right now i just want the easiest hardiest ones but since i was little ive been fascinated with bubble coral i love it, so im probably gonna get it, my tank just finished cycling but i think i wanna add more live rock so ill wait 2 weeks to get my corals and such... my corals will be hard corals and maybe a sponge or something then bubble inverts and then fish im adding this over a coarse of a year so averything doesnt change or crash.

Do you think your tank is mature enought to add an Anenome as they require stability which unfortunatly does not come easily in a newly set up tank



This goes for most LPS & SPS
