i'm looking for some new corals, thinking about a tort. Does anyone know anything about them? are they hard to take care of? does anyone have any frags they wouldsell? i'm not even sure if they are sps thanks for the help Jeremy Thomas

Yes, they are SPS's...If you already have some SPS corals that are thriving, you should be able to do Tort's just fine.

Like most SPS, high light, high water flow and you should be good.

Torts are not hard at all. Nick801 may still have some frags
