its about 14" deep.. now that i think about it a brain might not be a good idea but what about the plate?

 

[jrthomas40]

dont know much about the req's for plates...never had one

 

[jrthomas40]

i think being a intermediate light coral a plate might be ok

Technically it is an invert but what about an orange tree sponge?

I just got a plate coral for my 29 gal. a couple of days ago and have 2-65W PC's, and the research I have done states they are hardy and do not need intense lighting. It's really small right now but was told it will grow fairly quickly. I really like mine

Matt, you can definately do a plate coral or a brain coral in your 29g. Mine is just like yours and I have both. You can see pics of how the plate coral and brain coral are thriving in my tank in my thread in the "Nano" forum.
I may have to trade in the brain for a smaller one because it's getting SOOOO huge!~
You can try those.
