Which Corals for a Nano

[Chromis kid]

Hi all

I have a 12gal Nano which has 2x 12" interpet daylight plus t5 compacts in.

Which corals would you suggest are best? I want to add a splash of various colours to the tanks.

I'm just setting up a 4 foot tank with sump, so due to the size that things grow this won't be a real problem as they will be moved into the bigger tank.

I currently have 5 headed branching frogspawn, and some sporadic polyps.

Live stock: 1 humbug, 1 domino, 1 green chromis, 1 chalk bass, 1 citron goby.

Inverts: 6 blue leg hermits, 6 red leg hermits, 2 peppermints, 1 sexy shrimp.

All doing really well.

I was thinking of getting some mushies, what do you think of ricordia aswell?

I think you'd probably get away with the ricordia. how deep is the tank?

[Pinkfish]

A leather, some zoas, xenia, and some mushies that what I would have

The tank is 16" cube.

The tank is 16" cube.

thats fine as long as you keep the sizes down, you can always trim xenia and a leather.

I think probably most would be ok in in a nano, as long as you have a sharp pair of scissors.

as sugested some mushies,xenia and some small poylps.also some small bush corals which if they grow to big can be moved to your 4ft tank.derek

You can put any corals in a nano tbh. With perfect water conditions even SPS can thrive under T5s due to the shallow depth ;)
