Can I keep these under my 2 x 54 T5 Retro?

[kookerson]

I wanted to pick up either a bubble coral, a frogspawn, a plate coral, a candy cane coral or myabe even a brain........do you think any of them would be OK under this lighting in my 75?

Anything guys?

Those should all be just fine under that amount of light.
Most LPS aren't super picky, and only need medium light to survive and thrive. Don't drop a ton of money on anything, just start small, and see how they do, but they should be fine.
Hope this helps.

I think the bubble would do pretty well in there; I would be hesitant to put any of the others in there. Caulstrea might be OK if put near the top and fed regularly. If you are looking specifically at stony corals you could consider a Fox Coral too.

I think 2 would keep them alive, but that's about it . Unless their being overdriven with an Ice Cap ballast 2 more would be perfect for your size tank and livestock, and would really make the difference between living and and really thriving with some great color. Great thing with retros is you can add em in later if monies an issue. You may even find your happy with just one more who knows
