I agree with all of the above. Birdsnest and pocci are probably the two easiest. The staghorns are typically very forgiving but tend to not show their nice color unless they're under high light. Monti caps are kind of in the same boat.

You'll have to experiment a bit to find what works for you. Start with the $5 frags and work your way up. Stop when you hit the $50 frag level (I finally popped that cherry recently... Dark, dark times. Feel so dirty... But I got a sweet frag!). Just keep an eye on your parameters and pay attention to the SPS behavior. They will tell you when something is wrong.

He was asking for SPS. those are not SPS.

Just wondering why the OP is asking for lower light SPS but will put them on the highest part of the tank under LED? Did I misunderstood something? I thought LED was pretty strong so why the lower light requirement in the highest part of the tank?
