Corals That Thrive in Low Light

[Curren007K]

I have a 65G display tank with two 120W LED fixtures with 10,000Ks and actinic blues, they're dimmable and are rolled down significantly.

Anyway all my corals are doing fantastic so my issue isn't with the light but rather a question about my few spaces of shade from my shelf pieces of the rock work that over hang.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any corals that would thrive in these spaces to fill the few gaps I have.

sun coral is a no light coral that would do well (downside is you have to spot feed it), carnation tree coral would do well but they're not too hardy.

mushrooms would be he way to go and some easy leathers...................

I think that is a ton of lighting fwiw I have a single 120 W LED over my 120 gallon frag tank and it lights 1/3 of the tank fairly well

Carnation coral (usually Dendronephthyea or Scleronephthyea) have a horrible record of survival in the hobby. Don't waste your money.
They are beautiful, but I've never heard of one survive.

The poster is asking for low light requirement corals not non-photosynthesis corals. Sun coral and carnations are both NPS and require daily feeding and specialized food.
The problem with keeping low light requirement corals like mushroom and polyps is that they tend to grow over everything and kill everything when they thrive.
I like to keep my acans and chalice and scoly under the overhang. They tend to have their best colors under the shade.
