They also pack a pretty powerfeul toxin, watch out if you keep other corals nearby. They're pretty aggressive.

I agree with cristhiam- Camels often eat polyps and other desireables. IMO Coral banded get big and eat other crustaceans- and even mollusks especially in such a small space. Fires are pretty but IME...

They're all different and some get too big and obtrusive. But I can't resist recommending my favorite- the tuxedo urchin. They've got a great blue color and unusual rows of spines. They also "wear"...

Don't bother with the needle... they get clogged in salt water way to quickly. The precesion can be nice but it's really more effective to smother the mouth or whole body if they're tiny with paste.

Gotta tell more than the kelvin- what's the wattage? There's a wide variety that can thrive in many lighting schemes but posting the wattage will be more helpful. Whatcha' got?
