New to reef

[98silverado]

I'm new to doing corals. I have done fish with live rock but haven't ventured into corals but I just got a green ricordia for free from my buddy. I have a 15 gallon tall tank with a led panel rated at 120 watts but it's dimmed down quite a bit and good filtration. I'm just wondering what would be some others to start out with that are going to be easier to keep and get me started into this. Thanks and all opinions are appreciated

You can start with corals like green star polyps, Xenia , leathers , basically any kind of softy

Okay. Now I just need to get some more haha. Now do I have to do anything special to get them to attach the rock or do I just place it? Sorry again but I received the ricordia on a rock already

Just remember to start slow, and check your water parameters , calcium, alkalinity, ect.... All corals are different , so there will be different ways to attach .

Okay. Thanks again. The next thing I really want to get is some that look really good under the actinic

You will also need to get a power head if you going to start a reef..

I have one already.
