Lowest Light Coral

[AABatteries]

What coral has the lowest lighting needs out there cause instead having a FOWLR tank forever, I wouldn't mind looking into adding some coral down the road IF I get the tank in the first place.

mushrooms are usually okay in low light but i need to know exactly how low

There are also non-photosynthetic corals, such as tubastraea, which require not light at all. They do, however, require regular feeding to sustain them. There are also non-photosynthetic mushroom types such as pseudocorynactis, they're highly predatory, though and may pose a threat to smaller fish.

Chili coral, some gorgonia, and other non-photosynthetic stuff.

Have to agree with Cocoa.

It would be a 24 gallon tank and here the lighting is 32W Dual Daylight 10000°K/6700°K Daylight and 32W Dual Actinic 460nm/420nm Actinic.

with 64w of light you will be safe with zoas, kenya trees, mushrooms, etc. just place them mid level-top of the tank

[AABatteries]

ok, which one would be the cheapest?

[cocoa_pleco]

mushrooms, theyre only a few bucks

[AABatteries]

Ok, so would this be a good type to start with? [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

[cocoa_pleco]

yep, those are good

[AABatteries]

Okay, how many do you think I could put in a 24g cube?

[cocoa_pleco]

quite a few, depends on how many pounds of rock youre going for etc. though

[AABatteries]

Ok, thanks for all the help.
