Help with which corals to get.

Hey everyone. I currently only have two small candy cane frags with two heads in my tank. I run a biocube 32 Gal LED stock. The candy canes are doing well after having a rough way to go upon entry due to damage I caused. I was wondering if you could suggest some more easy to care for LPS. I love LPS and softies. My tank can handle either well as I’ve had both in the past.

Can't go wrong with hammers and duncans. Both did well in my 29 biocube.

I like the look of acans pretty well.

I like euphilia for the movement, but I like acans and blastos because of the color and the fullness of them when they extend outward. Although I do love my RRC Pumpkin Spice leptastrea

Is leptastrea an LPS? I like the John Deere ones but I thought they were sps

Will they overgrow a tank like I need to put it on its own rock on the sand? I really like the way those things look. I was gonna get a John Deere one but I thought it was SPS and everyone says my light won’t support one

They do encrust, but it’s not like a gsp, it doesn’t grow wild like. They like low to med light, med flow.

I can do that. They look so cool. They’ll grow under my stock lights if they’re low light. My lights out about 50-60 par so I think that’s about right
