Very new to owning a saltwater tank myself and even more new to trying to grow corals. I have the aqueon cue 5 gallon tank (something I can bring with me when I go to college this fall) I'm not really sure how powerful my light is and what kind of corals I can grow with it. I mainly want to add some color with it to contrast with my black background and black sand I added over my white crushed coral. I currently have a Duncan coral and what I believe is a trumpet coral in there that really open up when the light is on, but I have them higher up on my live rock to keep them near the light. So I guess after the long explanation my question is what kinds of corals will grow with the light that came with my tank and what are some corals I can put lower in the tank maybe on the sand and crushed coral that will still grow. (If it matters I have 3 small astrea snails, 5 tiny hermit crabs, and one much larger snail with a long elephant like trunk that burrows itself into the sand.)
