Best corals without the need for crazy light

[AngelR98]

Hello right now I have a Zoa and Duncan coral. My light set up is not super advanced and am using a simple led strip that normally comes with a tank. What are the best corals to acquire without having to buy a light that breaks the bank? Thanks

Soft corals that can thrive in low-light conditions.

Mushrooms are cool.

Mushrooms are a great option. Maybe some leathers too they don’t require much care

If I were on a budget I would go with the @noopsyche. But then again I picked up a Radion G3 for supercheap over the weekend via Offerup.

Do you know any leathers that wouldn’t?

Toadstool is my favorite. They are super easy in my opinion. Finger leathers, cabbage coral (I think it’s called) , and many more just search up east-going leathers!

In terms of softies, some zoas, though some may want more light. Honestly coral would rather have less light than too much to the point of bleaching. Colors might not always be the best, but many would many an attempt to survive

Not necessarily easy, but any Non-Photosythetic coral would also apply

Get a toadstool or two. Neon green and weeping willow are two varieties I have, and they're both gorgeous and about as hardy as they come. Sinularia are also super hardy, super pretty, and come in a variety of colors.
