Wtb easy to keep corals

Like it says I just want to get some easy to care for, and fast growing corals. I live in Lakewood so hopefully someone's nearby and needs to make some room (;

Heads up, you may want to rethink easy to care for AND fast growing corals. I felt the same way when I was first starting and went through hell trying to remove things like xenia, button polyps, and trumpet mushrooms. Rather than getting coral that will show major growth, you should focus on easy to keep corals that you could see in your ideal tank 5 years from now. Corals such as frogspawn, torches, duncans, and zoanthids are easy to care for but look stunning in a mixed reef and grow at a moderate and controllable pace.

See I actually really like the look of Xenia but I've never had luck with it. I guess I just want to fill a 14 gal biocube. It's my moms tank but I'm the one who gets to do all the maintenance haha. I have a cave with all the rocks but I think I'm going to simplify and do a large island that is the man made reef rock that I've had cookin, so I'd like to have a lot of similar corals. I love frogspawn and Duncan's I've never had them though. I'm newer to corals since I've just had fish only systems and the corals I have are flourishing.

I love mixing the green/red montis together when the swirl around each other! I have both if you're interested for $10 each. And branching digi purple, red, teal and green...frags all $10 also. The are all pretty easy for sps and grow real fast

Oooh goodness I'll keep in touch. I'm just about done with my 125 build and then I'll message all of you. I'm going to craigers tomorrow and then I'll let you guys know. Seems like no one is in Lakewood. We need more Lakewood/golden reefers
