    With the lighting you have I can only just getting a soft coral. You can try a kenya tree, ricordia, leather, nepthea, toadstool,.

    You could also try some xenia, or button polyps. You also might be able to get away with some hammer coral, if you place it higher up in the tank. My branching hammer coral is doing great under PC lighting.

    Zoanthids would work. The only problem is they lose their amazing color under lower lighting. I tried them under PC lighting and they lost their color.
