    Yeah the vent is close by, but it is 12 ft off the floor that room has vaulted ceilings.

    i would say maby some mushrooms they are a pretty hardy coral and some species prefer low light and a few even shady areas but you just gotta check as to what ones.

    Typically, the smoother discasoma's are more forgiven with light levels. Star polyps, epizoanthids, some zoanthids, polythoa's, deeper water plate corals (usually not much color to these---these are typically from Indo) and friggin aptasia (just kidding).

    GSP's are very aggressive colonizers, but are fragged quite readily so you can pass on to others! JFYI

    Way cool Nugio! You'll love watching them. The fact they opened quickly means your water parameters are good, congrats!
