Lots of them. Like LTP/STP, open brain (lobo), candy cane/trumpet, blastos/micro musas, cup/pagoda, chalice, pinapple...

You could even do some SPS likes monti digi/caps and poccillopora.
Light is not the be all end all. You must have a stable environment with the correct perameters.

I trying a candy coral now. Its open all the way. I test my parameters. PH 8.4 nitrates 0 nitrite 0 ammonia 0, Im having a diatom bloom right now. i was using tap water but 2-3 weeks ago bought my RO/DI unit. so i have made the switch to that. I been doin 4 gal water changes weekly to get rid of them. might have had some cyano. but seems to be receding. I have a couple Zoas in there and dont seem to be doin too well. some open some dont. i have couple mushrooms they doin well and open fully. also a colt that is open fully. For fish i have a False perc. a lawnmower Blenny Scooter Blenny And a Mandarin. I know my system small but he seems to be doin well. I have a emerald crab blue legged hermet 2 red legged hermets. I have a 1.5 inch CC substrate. Thinkin bout switchin to sand but afraid of upsetting everything. Any tips on my setup would be great. As im still learning. Also I use B-ionic as a buffer. 10ml daily should i raise lower it?

The mandarin will have to be eating prepared foods or you will have to add pods to the tank everyday for that mandarin to survive.

Diatoms are from silicates and cyan is from PO4 and NO3. The crushed coral might ne the cause of the cyan due to trapped detritus in it.
