So, if you had to pick only 3 SPS and one of them HAD to be a Staghorn (Any species) for a Mushroom dominated tank, what would YOU pick? And why?
Here’s an idea on the rockwork I have to deal with (Plenty of room for coral, I’m planning to have two SPS corals on the side ledges).
The coral already in there/going in there are R. Yuma, R. Florida, A blue discosoma,

It's a little dark, would you take a picture with the whites on?
 
Well I would not put any mushrooms in an acro tank period.
Many, not all, are invasive and when they release they will stress/kill whatever they touch.
I have been fighting them as they multiply as fast as I remove them.
Check my build for the damage they can do.
These green disco's are evil!
You can see the damage they have done to the red acro left of center.

I want to run lights on white now I won’t lie- Would that harm corals?

This is 100% accurate. I have same issue with these mushrooms detaching or babies floating off and landing next to other corals and taking them out. You be surprised to see these mushrooms will kill most anything else. I will say I have had them sting almost every type of coral and the mushroom wins
