I currently have a clown, goby and small pistol in my 14g nano. My question is what coral should I put in there? I have some shrooms, and zoa in there now but I need more.

Heres An Excerpt From Sam Pol's Nano Building Article. Im Sure There Are Many More, But These Would Make Great Starter Corals....

After your nano reef has been up and running for about a month you can begin to add some corals. A few good starter corals would be Mushroom Corals, Star Polyps, Zoanthid Corals or Pulsing Xenia. Here is a bit more about those species:



Blue Stripe Mushroom


Actinodiscus sp.

Light Requirements: Moderate (4-5 watts per gallon)
Water Flow: Medium
Feeding: Feeds on water born particulates and nutrients.

Green Star Polyps


<p style="text-align:center">Pachyclavularia sp.

Light Requirements: Moderate (4-5 watts per gallon)
Water Flow: Medium
Feeding: Feeds on water born particulates and may benefit from micro-plankton feedings.

Colony Polyp


<p style="text-align:center">Zoanthid sp.

Light Requirements: Medium High (5-7 watts per gallon)
Water Flow: Medium
Feeding: Feeds primarily on it’s own symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) and requires good lighting.
