What would be some good LPS corals to go under stock biocube 14 gallon lighting? Challenging corals are not a problem for me. Thanks.

Anything should be fine in there -sps and maybe candycanes. I have a 29BC with stock lighting and have acans, chalices, frogspawn, wellso, yumas, zoas, palys and plates in it and they are living life! Even had a Gbta at once(not no more)

Off topic but your sig says you hate corals so why get any?

It all depends on what you like, not what everone else thinks. However, I love any acan.

So the bio cube lighting is sufficient for most lps corals? Ive never used power compacts so i don't know. Thanks.

I had a 14g Biocube for 5 years and I can vouch for trumpest/ candycanes, open brain ,maze brain,pagoda cups, hammers ,frogspawn, bubble and blastomussa. All these did well in my tank. In fact I can not think of any LPS that would not do well.

What you might want to do, is to consider the corals ability to send out stinging sweepers. My maze brain, bubble and hammer had to be strategically placed as not to sting other corals.

I agree. I think most LPS will do fine under that light.

Yeah most lps will be ok you just have to find those sweet spots where everyone gets along and don't sting eachother
