Default 6.62 watts of power compact /// 29 gallon

So I got my new lights its a 2 x 96 watt fixture with 1 x 96 watt true blue 03, and 1 x 96 watt 12000k, should I lower this to around 6700k? over a 29 gal about 18" in depth, I have LR all the way up to about 3" below water surface,

I am looking for something that is good for begginers, something that doesnt have to be spot fed very often. Is there anything along these lines that fall into my lighting specs that is not very toxic? are all coral toxic? to each other I mean. I will be thankful for any suggestions.

Soft Coral, The polyps, The Leather corals & The mushroom polyps. Which would be the best for me to start with? any pics with links to info on them would be great!! I found a site lastnite that had the coral pics, then you clicked it and it pulled up alota info on it I didnt get it book marked and now I can find it.

I also would like something that is easy to care for, For my paired clowns to host.

any info or input on the following?

1.Plate Cora-Neon Green?
2.Colt Coral?
3. Zoo's Green Eye?
4.Mushroom? Polyps-Green Ricordea?
5. mushroom coral pimple & ricordea yuma?
6.White Sebae Anemone

With 192 watts of CF what lighting range would I be considered in?

again I will be thankful for any & all input

John

All of those corals listed will do fine under your lighting, but I would stay away from the Sabae anemone. Once your tank is established, if you want to try a Bubble Tip Anemone, it should do fine, even without spot feeding. IN general, most softies, mushrooms, polyps, and brown zoos will do fine under those lights. Brighter or more colorful zoos may struggle.
