    To make it easier and shorter, here are the main ones you won't or can't keep!
    Goniopora, Alveopora, Pectinia, Acropora(for the most part), Heliofungia, Goniastrea and Catalyphyllia.

    I'd stick with soft corals.

    a carpet anemone in a 20 gallon wont work regardless of the lights. I have seen carpet anemones out grow 75 gallon tanks! It may seem to be ok for awhile but long term there is no way! As far as corals go...Id stick with softies and some lps will be fine.
