Lighting and ID on coral

[stars150]

Hello I have a few questions, which light would you reccomend for a 40 gallon tank? I already have The Fluval Marine 3.0 Bluetooth LED, 46W, 36-48″ set up, however I am looking to get a clam (crocea/maxima), I am also looking to keep coral. Do you have any pictures of the lighting? My other question is can someone ID these two coral, I know it’s not the best pictures. Also what are some coral that I can start out with that have color and movement? How do I go about feeding them? Thanks for the help I am new to saltwater

I'm not an expert on the lighting so I'm not going to answer that... but can you tell if the corals are soft or hard?
If soft, most likely leathers. If hard, the first one is birdsnest or stylo.

1 reefi uno, and 1-2 quanta reef LED bar. you won't need anything more than this. if you ever go bigger(<125G), you would only need an additional reefi uno.

your current lights are nowhere near enough for the clams, but can grow softies decently. the two pictures are definitely leather corals, with one(likely the one to the right) being a toadstool. the one to the left seems like a devils hand/finger leather coral

Save your money, don't purchase a clam at this point. With SW there is a huge learning curve. Crocea and Maxima are challenging even for intermediate hobbyist.
I really don't mean to sound discouraging, just realistic. Learn your soft coral's husbandry and basic reef tank chemistry.
