What are some coloful easy corals that require very minimal light?

[Eddie79]

I have a vida rock in my tank that creates a ton of shaded areas. I was wondering if there were any coloful corals that don't require a ton of light and aren't impossible to keep. If you have any thoughts or suggestions that would be great.

Thank you

Some acans like low lighting.

I have your acans in pretty low light right now and they are really liking it.

suggested chalices long back .. he doesn't like anything on sand bed .. or did it change Ed ??

well if you can get your hands on any dendros get them. you will like them

Keep in mind that dendros MUST be spot fed, I know Eddie was trying to significantly reduce bioload.

These pieces would be put on the vida rock but along the bottom of the vida rock. I will post a picture when I get home

looking good! i have the same issue with my bonsai tree so i just surround it with torches / hammers / frogspawns, not under the shade though.

Duncans are cool! Though not really colorful they do show green under LED lighting.
