We want some interesting looking corals. But we have been told about different types of lighting for different corals. We have a Coralife light and these are the bulbs that are in it.

Actinic 96 watt
10000 k 96 watt.

What do you recommend?

Thank you
Hammer Heads

Hi,

If you're looking for corals, the buy/sell has lots for sale in your area.

General reefing questions would get a lot more response in the reef forum.

and

Welcome to Canreef.

I personally really like most soft corals and they would do well under your lights. Xenia, kenya Tree, Colt Corals, Mushrooms, Zoanthids to name a few would work. I think a lot of LPS would do all right closer to the top of your tank as well such as Hammer, Torch and Frogspawn corals. You can get a lot of color in the above corals plus I like the swaying motion of the soft and LPS corals as well. Should be no problem finding any of these for sale on this web site. If you don't see it just ask most of this stuff grows fast in good conditions.

I have some blue mushroom corals, they have purple, blue and teal through them they are very nice and would do well under your lights, i am asking 10.00 a polyp which is about 1/2 the price i paid for them.
