Should I attempt some LPS?

[Anonymous]

I have an 18g Via Aqua with stock 2x36W fixture. Would I be dooming myself by trying some LPS? Specifically, I really like plates (which would obviously have to be on the substrate), acans, frogspawns, blastos, etc. What, if any, could I attempt? I don't want them to just survive, but do well, so be frank.

One thing to consider when stocking a small tank is the "warfare range" of some of the corals. You don't want them to sting each other.

Honestly with that light you would be best with bubble out of the lps.

Open brains have been pretty undemanding in my experience as well.

Whatever LPS you get, be sure to offer it food every once in a while, like a small chunk of raw shrimp.

Euphylia will do just fine as well, Hammers, torches, frogspawns. Just get small ones.
