Checking in with the acro experts here...
I'm trying to get more sticks in my tank, but it's a little tough to get the more light-hungry acros in right now thanks to some stubborn BTAs that are hogging the top ridge of my rockwork (where I get 400-450 PAR). The lower levels of my rockwork are, thus far, free from the anemones, and there's quite a bit of real estate available in general. When not shaded out by other corals, I get around 200-250 PAR down there (and the primary shading corals are relatively easy to remove and have duplicates in the tank, so I can easily prune them out).
So, with that said... are there acros that would do well with that much light? Deepwater? PC Rainbow? Others I'm not thinking about?
Flow is pretty strong throughout the tank, with lots of turbulent, varying current throughout the tank.
