I bet you could grow kenya trees under a 15w appliance bulb. the less actractive shrooms do well for me in minimal light and shaded areas

I have a really nice Kenya~lots of zoa's~a real pretty Xmas Favia~I was hoping for an sps

Probably could keep montis in that bio cube

Give a peice of pocilipora a try. Monti caps, too. You have your tank running pretty stable- I bet both would do great! Give them a shot, and move up from there.

Thanks Chris~it's settled then~I'm freaking upgrading to my 26 bowfront~Woot Woot!!! I'm no longer afeared!!! I got Captive Reefers!!!

If you really want a low light anenomy- check out the condylactus anenomy. If you want a host for it, and feel lucky, add a small domino damsel and cross your fingers!

i would try the pocilipora and the monticap like Chris said and work up from there..if they work out try a green slimmer placed high in the top of the tank..thats my next coral..LOL Chris a dominio damsel..you and i wish we could get that lucky on any given day...there are some nice lookingdamsels out there but i just dont trust them with other fish..we have a couple but they on in a damsel only tank.
