So, I'm going to be putting my first corals in my tank in just a few weeks. I'm just liking for some suggestions. I'm looking for things that are relatively hardy and appealing to the eye.
I have a 65 gallon tank and I'm running quad t5's fir lighting. 3x 10k white and one actinic. Also, any suggestions on bulbs or should I be ok?

Thanks for all the info guys! So, I think I'm gonna start with some zoas, polyps and shrooms. Sorry to pick your collective brains but what's the rule with corals? Is it ok to add a few varieties at once or should I do one at a time?

Personally, I see no harm adding them all at once if you want to. As long as water chemistry and lighting are good. Also make sure they are spaced apart appropriately, some like to sting others.

I would trade out one of those white bulbs for another actinic, corals like blue to grow, however if you are after easy ones you can get by with your current setup.
