My aquariums

Much like plants, coral (or at least it’s symbiotic bacteria) breaks down nitrogenous waste, and also uses phosphates for food.
Different species have different requirements. Some are solely photosynthetic, others benefit from feedings, others need food, and others do not carry out photosynthesis at all and will die without frequent feedings.
A strong light is needed for coral most corals.
 
The "hard" part about keeping coral in my opinoin, is keeping your ca, alk, mag, phosphate, etc etc etc in check. Lots of things to test compared to freshwater, and different corals need different levels of each, so you've got to plan your tank out and keep ones that need the same levels, flow, light etc. And some will do better in different areas of the tank, some like to be at the top, others will die with too much light. It's the sort of thing you should do a lot of reading on before you begin, and I would recommend getting a good grip on freshwater first

petco had a fish called a "silver dollar tetra"
i have never seen them before and they were the size of a tetra
were they just baby silver dollars?
 
May just be bad genes making the white skirt look sickly, as they are heavily inbred. Either way keep an eye on it.
