The corals that I keep are moderate to deep brain-shapes. They live at moderate depths and don't require a lot of light. The type of light that reaches their natural habitat (at 25-30 metres) is fairly low-wavelength light and is not very intense.

Given these natural settings, actinic light seems to be the best choice of light for replicating their natural environment.
