    Although sps corals are not generally considered easy (as compared to mushrooms, leathers, etc), Pavona, Seriatopora, Stylophora, Porites, and Pocillopora are rated as "beginner" species.

    There are a lot more important things than just the lights when it comes to keeping stony corals.

    Most of the Montipora species are easy corals to keep.
