[@adamsavageee]

From the UK just started my tank a week ago been researching a lot you seem like the guy who’s being a massive help keep it up :)

How does this guy not have more views a subs his info is legit and isnt overbarring

[@davidbergaragonzalez5653]

It's funny when I first began to get interested in this hobby, I didn't think about corals. I was thinking about all of the different fishes and invertebrates there are. But now I find that corals are just as interesting.

[@wingedgiraffe6770]

super helpful! been looking into setting up a reef tank and you've shown many hearty and beautiful options whereas many other are just beige mushroom corals

[@gbj6581]

#1 easiest imo is xenia then gsp. Xenia is bullet proof. Gsp grows on anything, anywhere any light and even grew upside down on my water surface : ) Zoas are hard to kill but soometimes hard to please as well.

[@_jeevesee_]

Love the vids man you have inspired to get my own saltwater tank keep it up man

[@MadHattersReef]

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@BrandonDeWitte96]

Just wanted to say thanks Jeff. The setup for the AI prime you recommended is working absolutely amazing for my tank and my corals also thank you.

[@MadHattersReef]

Glad to hear it. It took me a little bit but definitely love AI Primes now.

[@AH-tw4wy]

No green star polyp? You could drop that stuff in a puddle and it would grow.

[@MadHattersReef]

I always had a hard time with GSP.

[@el_guapo1318]

@@MadHattersReef I have had three GSP frags so far. Two died out completely. The remaining one has about 3 or 4 polyps at any given time. So I am more than a bit skeptical on everyone's claims that GSPs are super easy to the point of being a nuisance.

[@besty2012]

Tried half a dozen times for the last 10 years can't keep gsp for the life in me

[@flightevolution8132]

​@@el_guapo1318 I left a GSP frag in a cup of saltwater by accident, and left on vacation. I got back 3 days later and immediately put it in my main tank, and it recovered just fine.

[@marcelrodriguez2067]

@@MadHattersReef to thrive put them in the back glass where theres alot of light and alot of flow( i literally put it right next to the powerhead.)

[@rc2300s2r]

#6a & #6b Xenia (pulsing action)& GSP(color and flowieness) Both loved and hated(hostile takeovers) and pretty easy to keep.

[@thedanimalexperience4415]

Thanks for the information I really needed it

[@MadHattersReef]

Any time

[@opethmike]

I do want to point out that while zoanthids are super hardy, they can be awfully cranky getting them to open up and stay open, and with so many different species of zoas, they can have quite varying requirements in term of lighting and flow.

[@vanessaclark9303]

Love your top 10 lists!

[@desireerudolph5992]

Thanks for the videos. Very helpful. Not ready for coral yet but looking forward. 😁 Definitely wanting scoly and zoas and ricordias. 🤔🤔🤔😁😁😁 Oh and the Duncan's are interesting too

[@davidmorales5425]

I love your channel is very informational and fun to watch..can you please do a video on the top 10 fastest growing corals

[@MadHattersReef]

That could be good content. Fast doesn’t necessarily equals good.

[@mikenielsen6038]

Tanks again Jeff!

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for watching!

[@islandaquatics6048]

I love scolys especially the crocodile island one from wwc

[@MadHattersReef]

Ive thought about picking some up for MRB. I want to get one for myself first.

[@reconnaissance7372]

It's not really a Coral, but an honorable mention should be Discosoma Corallimorphs. They are the easiest thing to keep I've ever found and the beauty of them is they're similar to Ricordia in that there are so many different morphs and colors to really brighten your tank with. I've started stocking a Pico tank recently with them because there is just so much variety.

[@MadHattersReef]

Yes. But everyone calls it a coral.

[@wokest118]

My fav is probably wellso, acans

[@quartermilereefer8752]

nice upload question have you gotten to go out fishing on charter boats this summer cuz it's Shore flying by I'm sure you probably caught a barracuda or a hammerhead shark by now let me know if you mounted it up on your wall yet 😎

[@kyleschroeder9865]

What are those little yellow fish you have in your tank at the start of the vid?

[@josephripley1641]

🔥🔥🔥💥🤙🏼

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for watching!

[@azlyr]

Looking into getting into the hobby and researching a lot prior to investing into it. I keep hearing you saying each corals lighting needs. Is this based positioning or the lighting fixture itself. I was looking at getting a AI prime due to its price point compared to other lights. Also cant decide on 20gal or 40gal to start. Thanks for all the great info!

[@SlashPlatinum]

Bigger is always better lol your gonna want a bigger thank eventually

What is the coral on the top right side of your tank

[@karennation3580]

surprised acans arent on here! I love the green stemed tall branching duncans! I have recently bought several single head hoping they will grow in a tall branching from but they want to grow horizontally! I got lucky with unique coarls, they sent meone that was about 7 heads tall until it stated to branch and it died in a tank crash. Do you know if there is anyway to make them grow like that or just luck of the draw? Perhaps If I could find one that cam off a mother colony that grew like that but none of my lfs seem to know and even ebay sellers i have asked dont know or dont have any! I would pay triple its worth just to get one back! It was the prettiest coral in my tank by far! Have you ever seen a purple star polyp placed and let grow on back like people do the gsp? I dont like gsp like that but nothing prettier than doing same thing with purple! The purple blends into back of glass and you cant really see it, what you do see is the neon tiny green centers everywhere like twinkling neon lights! Its gorgeous! I saw a LFS do it on a rock and got the idea because it looked so cool but wouldnt want to waste all the space on a rock that I could put coral on!

[@gabesreef]

I gotta give ricordia another shot soon

[@MadHattersReef]

Love um. Get coral to fill in the empty spots.

[@gabesreef]

@@MadHattersReef I know they are easy corals, but ricordias for me are like blue green chromis for you. I just ordered a mushroom box so I'll give it another sot

[@MadHattersReef]

....Chromis 😭

[@gabesreef]

@@MadHattersReef I think 1 single chromis is a safe bet. Come on do it, just 1 and I'll get a ricordia

[@nathanmoore7142]

I have some of the leathers. One is prominate in my tank. Wish I could post a pic of them here.

[@MadHattersReef]

[@westoncase5447]

Not suprised not to see gsp. Mine act really funny for no reason

[@MadHattersReef]

I’ve never had luck with them.

[@SlashPlatinum]

Would you consider torch corals easy to keep?

[@antsonarock]

I would love to talk to you about a few ideas I need help with

[@MadHattersReef]

Whats up?

[@MeekoHerptile]

Ahhhh Xenia. Xenia, Xenia, Xenia. I love it but it hates me.

[@leongorani5121]

What’s the name of those red/pink/orange fish with long tails that you have shown in the video at 1:00 ?? What size tank do they need?

[@MadHattersReef]

I think they’re lyretail anthias. 90gallon should work for a small group of 3. They are a plankton eat not the easiest but doable.

[@mohamadalamri7941]

[@darrensaquaticsworld]

Don’t Duncan’s need to be fed? 🤔

[@MadHattersReef]

I've never feed them. They seem a little reactive to feed.

[@MASSAquariums]

Every time I buy Zoas they spread like crazy then they all die. EVERY FLIPPING TIME

[@metalldanny]

I had the same problem Check (low) Iodine .. it was my problem !!

[@MadHattersReef]

Could definitely be some parameter that get suck out by the rapid growth then doesn’t get replenished and caused them to die off.

[@robertlangford7637]

ducan coral the number 1 thats the first coral i killed , hardy not mine .i dont try to keep them anymore
