    easy corals - with a 15O watt halide

    1st list - corals that would be easy , with even less light so they will be fine with what you have

    Green Star polyps
    Colt coral
    Kenya tree corals
    Yellow polyps
    Zoanthids
    clove polyps
    Anthelia
    Other mushrooms
    leather corals
    Toadstool corals
    Feather dusters

    slightly more demanding but still relatively easy
    Hammer coral LPS
    bubble coral LPS
    torch coral LPS
    Frogspawn coral LPS

    There must be loads I missed to be honest

    Your going to really like having that light,could probably keep almost any soft coral as well as lps.Most soft corals are easy and require little care and feeding as long as they are photosythetic...whuch most are.A lot of large polyp stonies are also easy,though they like a little meaty food from time to time.Frogspawn is easy,would do well with that light,and theres a chance your clowns might host it.
