low light sps!

Whats a good sps for a low light nano tank? I have a 12 gallon with 18watt pc lighting.

You might be able to get away with Montipora digitata. Keep them close to the light.

I was gonna say that, but with only 18 watts of light it might brown out, alive but brown instead of orange or purple.

I have had good luck with the Montipora Green Cap in low light.

I think some montipora caps, green slimer and green pocillapora do well in lower light. I've never used PCs though.
