    Basically I just wanted to know if there ok for a begginer, in a biocube with stock lights. Are any poisonous to humans? Other corals?

    I would advise against the red tip tree coral. It appears to be a carnation coral which does not do well long term. All the other corals are somewhat easy to care for and good choices.

    Kenya trees are very easy to keep in my experience. But they do grow very fast and can spread pretty quickly around the tank. As for the others corals their level of care really depends. I own all of those corals and do slightly different things for each. Did you have any plans on what you want to feed them with?

    Stock lighting should be fine. Feed once or twice a week for the torch, candy cane, Duncan, Blassto, Hammer and Acan. They will all appreciate chopped small meaty foods. Feed all when their tantacles are out. Turn off the flow and feed each directly. Mushrooms, polyps and zoas do not need to be fed directly they will get all they need from the water column. All can survive on light and nutrients in the water column but will do better and grow and spread better if they get fed.

    I have ricordia and yuma mushrooms, and star polyps. They are pretty much care free and look amazing.
