Lighting

[ecwilson2308]

I have a 40B that I am planning on keeping soft corals in. My question is right now I have 2 39watt t5s, will this be sufficient?
I was planning on keeping some shrooms,gsp, and a couple leathers.
Thanks

You should be ok with those corals. Stay away from fuji yellow leathers though. They require more light and can be a difficult coral to keep.

You should be fine with softies.

Didn't know that about the yellow fiji leathers.Aside from needing higher lighting, do they just require higher water quality and are more sensitive? Or do people just have problems keeping them alive?

Higher water quality, a bit more flow, and a more stable system.

I saw a toadstool with bright green polyps at the store. Everywhere I read says they are an easy coral to care for, but they also say that about the yellow fiji leather. So I figured I would ask. Any issues with this coral?

No issues with the green polyp toadstool.
