Suitable corals for high current, high light area

[popper]

Hi all,

I have a 45cm cube tank, with mainly leathers, buttons and mushrooms.

There is a spot which is next to the outlet of my pump which i want to add a coral. However, i had been searching for info. from various sites and could draw no ideas.

I had considered SPS but I'm afraid the leathers might engage it in a chemical war.

Please give me some suggestions.

thanks a lot.

You can also consider LPS to start off first.

Thanks 35cents ,

I have a plate coral, a tongue coral and a green jewel too.

I prefer LPS too, as they seem easier to keep. However, i cannot find any information of any that can take high light and high current other than leathers. My knowledge about corals is very basic.

Some of my equipment used.... hope this can help.

tank: LWH: 50cm X 40cm X 45cm (approximately)

skimmer: Weipro 2012 run by atman 105

Lights: 2 x36W PL and one 15W FL... getting one more PL set next month.

Powerhead: Otto 400

and a Profetec Fan.

Photosynthetic gorgonians. You can buy the commonly available thick branched brown "fuzzy" type.

You using PC may not be enough for sps (depend on the high you place them).

The following are links to more coral information, hope this helps:

Thanks to all for the suggestions!

due to my small tank, i face space constraints and i doubt my tank can handle SPS at this point in time.

here;s a blur pic for my tank... keeping the area on the top left for a suitable coral when time comes.

keep your suggestions coming.
