Watermelon Zoas were my first coral (still save them many upgrades later! ). Did you end up getting that blueberry chalice?

Mad Hatter's Reef - 7 years ago

I didn't... and I just put in an order with Tidal Gardens recently (Unboxing video: https://youtu.be/I5q6eUqBEuM ) I did get a blue pavona, ultra lepto and a green as well as a pink pocillopora.

No luck with zoas in my house tank , don’t know why they stay closed and they all die little by little

+CUBAN REEFER you my need to take them out and dip them. You could have a pest eating them.

Every new reefer would benefit from watching this video, exactly the concise information I have been searching for ! I will definitely try and seek out some of these recommendations. I feel more confident about keeping a few of these corals after hearing your reasoning. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it takes generosity to to that! Happy reefing.

Thank you so much for saying that. I just picked up a bunch of these corals at MACNA last weekend. Very happy with them and they look great. Happy reefing.

Those are beautiful starter corals. I especially love the zoas.

Zoanthids are stable in the hobby. Thanks for watching.

I have a question, i have yet to buy a coral and am in the market. The only concern i have that is holding me back from purchase is what to do with the coral? Do i remove it from the frag plug or rock it comes with? will that damage the coral, how delicate are they?

+Donovan Del depends on the coral. I got a shipment in on Friday and I had two corals on plugs. With one it was encrusted on the plug so I just simply cut the peg of the plug off. The other I completely removed the plug but the coral had not been on the plug very long.

In time most corals will completely cover the plug so it depends if you want to look at them until then.

Thanks for watching.

Awesome Video Thanks for the good information!!

vikinglord13 - 7 years ago

Thanks for the video. Most "beginner coral" videos/lists I see are full of softies. I like the different types of SPS you had, I had no idea some of those were so resistant

Mad Hatter's Reef - 7 years ago

vikinglord13 I probably do a soft top 10 down the road but I thought it would be good to do a beginner reef tank video. Thanks for watching!
