2 Gallon...what can I have?

[lexichick]

Hey all...
I just set up a 2 gallon nano for a friend, but I know very little about corals and anemones. My question is, what kinds of small coral or anenomes could I put in that tank? Which are a hardy type? Ones I don't have to hand feed easy to care for..... The lighting is PC, and there is live rock and sand.
Thanks!!:yes:

Also, I KNOW it's in the wrong forum, but I would like to buy some frags, loonie or twoonie size, that could survive in a 2 gallon. I just need maybe like 2-3 different or same frags, anyone? Please? I gotta get it all before Christmas, it's a gift.
Cheers!
Lexi

Prob just some zoo's and mushrooms, anything beyond that in my 3.5 gallon aren't doing that great and zoo's and mushrooms are lacking enough color also.

Seasons Greetings!

Ok, I'll stick with zoo's and mushrooms, but really? Thats all? No Xenia? or anemones?

anemones are a bad idea from what I hear, cause it'll take over your tank in no time. I guess I have some finger leather thats doing good too, and a toadstool, you might be able to get away with a few other things, but like I said nothing will do that well, least nothing in mine is, but who am I...

anemones in such a small tank would be a problem, i use fragged heads of torch coral in my g/f's nano, work awsome already grew 2 new heads, i also have purple xeina, pipe organ green start polyps ect.

Bumping!!! I still need some shroom frags and/or xenia...please, I'll do without the anemone. Here's a picture I attempted to take with a crappy web cam. Sorry, left my digi-cam at home.

I already have a light for it, it's a 15W PC bulb Life-Glo.
And as for the frags and such, I got some now, thanks shroom!!!
And thanks for everyone's help!!!:Clapping:

[jody]

i got a 20 watt pc50/50 and a 13 watt 6500 k pc

[superduperwesman]

You have much success/color with those bulbs Jody?

[rstar]

i have the 20 watt 50/50 on a 2.5 nano i gave a friend for christmas, looks great! the star polyp in it opened really fast! ill post a piccy when i get a premium membership, but that tanks specs are 2.5g glass aquarium, 2 pounds LR a small candy cane frag from my main tank, and a star polyp fragged from my tank, oh and crushed coral from my established display. looks great so far, for a filter i got top fin 10 hob i might modify it a bit though, there is a little bit of caulerpa in the tank to help with denitrification to. The total set-up gift cost was around 80$ (it was a christmas/b-day gift)

awsome success, awsome star polyp growth, great coral splitting rate

Get ahold of me....I have some xenia and kenya tree coral and some yellow colonial polyps. Probably even some mushrooms.
