    looking for easier coral for my first reef tank including softies (zoas, mushrooms, palys, Xenia, Alveo) and easier LPS/SPS (acans, birdsnest, etc). Ames area is best but am willing to travel to the Des Moines area as well! Thanks :)

    Welcome to the site and congratulations on your first tank!

    There's a lot of good help here that can get you some starter frags. Also in a few months we are having a giant swap down here in Des Moines...more info on that coming soon :)

    I have never really looked into them but I've heard that they are easy to keep! How much are you looking for a frag?

    ISUFishtank, if I were you when your tank is ready I'd hit Fred up for a head of that nice green frogspawn. :)

    It was already said, but if you can wait until ~March there will be the GIRS Spring fest frag show in Des Moines. In addition to all the Coral vendors and GIRS Member tables there's also a community table where any GIRS member can bring bagged frags for sale to anyone. Frags at community table are well priced = cheap cheap.

    I'm working on making frags to bring to Spring Fest right now.
    I plan on bringing:
    Xenia (a few different strains)
    Blue Sympodium
    Green star polyps
    Purple star polyps
    Nepthea
    Capnella
    Several different leather corals

    Looks like I will definitely have to come to that! It'll also be fun to meet everyone and get some advice :)
