Looking for some low light Acros(100-200par)

Dilan Patel · Aug 10, 2020

I got a few spots on the bottom of my tank left and I am looking for acros that are both colorful(can be solid colors just gotta be vivid). and will thrive in lower light. I was thinking more deep water acros but wanna know some of your favs! Im probably try my hand at a red dragon again lol. Also any nice corals to put in higher lighting on the back glass!

Maybe try a strawberry shortcake. Mine is on the bottom of my tank directly under the light and it does well. Very colorful and great growth.

From what I’ve read pc rainbow will get more of the rainbow color (green/yellow/red) when in lower light.

I would suggest JF Burning Banana for low light. Super red polyps on a very yellow background. I keep mine partially shaded and it’s never looked better. Some other suggestions would be different montipora species like forest fire are very colorful. As for the high light area I will say that BC Teen Wolf seems to do very well in crazy high light. I keep mine at about 650 par and it loves soaking up all that light. TGC Cherry Bomb also loves high light, mine is at over 550 par. I got both pieces from Epic Aquaculture.
