I only seem to see these on insta. I’m a freshwater tanker and I’ve always seen reef tankers say bigger is more stable especially for corals- so my question is how are people successfully doing corals in such a small setup? Are those actually corals or just like… they conveniently look like it..? IDK! I know nothing about saltwater 😅
Is this just like an extreme expert level thing?

Macroalgae ain’t coral.
There is mostly macro algae in that setup. The only corals there are Xenia and a leather coral which are both very hardy. The corals are the pale ones in the tank.
Bigger is certainly easier to balance, but that doesn’t mean small isn’t doable with the right amount of work.
Edit: looks like there is also an orange mushroom coral, another hardy coral
Google reef jars and check the reef2reef and reefcentral forums.
Some of them just do whole water changes weekly.
Only 3 coral that don’t need much to survive and a bunch of macro algae. Only thing that would be hard to balance here are the micronutrients that macros devour.
