Title: high light/high flow coral
Post by: Reef Tank 2.0 on February 20, 2018, 10:27:55

Can anyone suggest a number of high light/high flow corals that are easy to care for?

I have (3) hydra 26HD lights.  and underneath these lights, about midish way down in to the tank is my first rock structure.  My tank is 24" high, and the lights are about 8" above water.  They are running somewhere around 60% capacity.

I have placed acro's directly underneath and it seemed to start bleaching out.  As soon as I moved out of the direct beam, it has done well.

So I am looking for strong light coral that will allow me to fill in the open spaces underneath these light sources.

any suggestions?

robin/lemon are both pretty small, the frags would be pretty tiny but if everyone wants them i will cut!
