Coralife clip on light on 2 gallon pico reef.

Does anyone know if the Coralife LED Marine Aquarium Clip-On Light will grow soft corals? I’m thinking of using it on a 2 gallon pico reef.

Amazon says maybe...it could probably grow mushrooms pretty well, but what corals are you thinking of?

I was thinking of some mushrooms, zoas, and green star polyp. I am debating getting a kessil a80 but I really don’t want to drop that much money on an experiment tank if I don’t have to.

Are you talking about this light?



If so I put it in my refugium to grow xenia. I had to leave the light on for 12 hours to actually see any growth with them. Then GHA took over the refugium and it grows that really well.
