Hi, I have a large Monti cap, that I would like to grow something under.
What would be a good candidate for this spot.
Thanks

Chilli coral, sun coral or a carnation maybe?

my mushrooms grow in the shade. They dont grow as fas or spread as fast but they do grow.

Kenya Tree, but it will take over your tank in a couple years.
It will grow everywhere, even where you don't want it.

As long as you have strong lighting you should be able to place ricordeas or zoas under there. A ricordea bed would be cool. Copps on here has almost the entire sand bed of one of his tanks covered in ricordeas.

+1 on the rics. I just got my first ones and absolutely love them. Indirect lightning seems sufficient for them.
