$100 budget for corals
any ideas on the best corals to get for under $100 dollars...not like ONE coral for less than $100 but which corals are relatively inexpensive...i would like to get as many different ones as i can for $100...also which trusted websites should i shop from if i go the online route?

Well since you only have a nano, I'd go for aquacultured corals
It'd be cheaper. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/c...3319&subref=BD I wouldnt carry SPS as they can be tad expensive. Xenia, Mushrooms, LPS, Softies, Zoos, Leathers are mostly cheap. They have 10 dollar deals on the weekly special

shipping for that many frags can run $50-65 easily. Check with your local clubs.

I would definitely ask around your local clubs. I stocked my 10G nano for not much more than $100 in coral. Montipora capricornis and M. digitata, all sorts of softies, zoanthids, xenia, frogspawn, etc. are all pretty cheap.

You might be thinking of Dr. Mac's corals. They do have LSP, zoa, and polyp frag packs. They also have a $99.99 variety pack.
http://www.drmaccorals.com There are plenty of others, too. Check the sponsors' web pages for deals. |

Check for local club frag swaps first. Buy $10 frags and watch them grow.
A $100 budget for corals has one prerequisite....time for them to grow. |

I agree that shipping will probably take too much of your $100 budget and that frags from LFS or local clubs (best bet!) is the way to go. People in the local RC club here make it a point to help newbies like you with great free frags. I also agree that mushrooms, zoanthids, leathers, xenia and maybe LPS like candycanes would be best to start with.
Best of luck!
