Room mates for SPS?

[intoodeep]

Hey guys, i want to eventually have an sps tank with a few lps and some soft if they are compatible. Any suggestions on species to start out with so i don't have to deconstruct my tank to add acros. My tank is not huge, but my goal is to have 1 of each of porites, seraitopora, pociliopora, montipora, stylophora, and a few various acroporas. The bioload is probably throught the roof already but is there anything that i can start the tank out with that i won't have to remove when i get some more sensitive sps? Something that will compliment them, or improve water conditions?

Blastomussa would be nice.

I think Sps are sensitive to leathers.

Watch out for Euphyllia - they grow, sweep and kill.

i remember bringing up the sacrophyton question to the rep from liquid life (cyclopeeze people) when he mentioned that they might actually help SPS. He said that they actually might help because of some bacterial presence or something like that. I really cant remember.

Basically for me what ever i can keep that likes high light like the SPS do well. Some that caused me problems were a galaxy coral and hydrophora that can sting from far away. My euphyllia I have blowing in the corner of my tank don't cause a problem because they cant reach, but they can lay out long polyps to sting. After a while my euphyllia and my nepthia finally made friends and stopped fighting and live really close to each other. I hope this helps

I have always thought zoanthids go great with an SPS tank. They add a great deal of color and will not hurt the SPS. They wil just grow around the base of the colony. Tridacna clams are great additions to SPS tanks as well. I few ricordea on the sand bed look great as well.

zoos can sting sps.. but if placed well, are nice...

ricordia is nice..
if placed corectly.. frogspawn and brains of differeing types are nice
