Ya I think so too. Thinking to add blue mushrooms. Any suggestions?

The choice of livestock plays a vital role here especially when urs is a nano tank. First of all if u r a coral person then u would not choose a reef unsafe fish. U wouldn't want ur expensive corals to end up as food for them. And I think ur tank is too small to house a clown trigger. Juz my 2 cents.

For color, adding a variety of zoas, mushroom, yuma & rics can be quite nice. Soft corals like leather fingers, toadstool and lps such as branching hammer, true octo are good too.

Try google images of nano reef tanks might give u an rough idea of what to add.

Happy reefing.

Thanks bro. Agree trigger will outgrow the tank and when it does will find a good home for it. Will give hammer, octo and the likes a miss cuz afraid they will die and pollute tank. Frankly I am glad the mushrooms are doing well haha... First time success with mushrooms. Intend to sprinkle with more colorful zoas and rics but they are not cheap lol Thanks again bro for your comment.

Hi bro, you can also add on super sun coral which is my fav, it's orange colour will brighten up your tank. There r also many colour zoas which many bros now selling u can consider. Live rock also play an important part, encourage more coraling growth. For fishes, u may wish to keep a pair of true perc clown and some goby but don't over stock. Hope this help

Yes sun coral need target feed, can be quite tired at times. I find Super sun coral easy open, u can target feed it in a cup and once it fully open u can feed inside DT and open almost throughout the day.

Yes agreed with u nice colorful zoas r very ex

You can get true perc clown at CF, get one bigger size and the other smaller size ( one L n one M) to pair up, chances are that they will not fight.
Ok bro like your idea too. will try supersun. How much is one?

After down slope turn right in the direction of iwarna, first LFS is one auntie and uncle, then one gate more is a big LFS. I think most of u bros would know by now... For me it's a new discovery. Will turn left to look for pinnacle next time.
