I have rics and a bubble coral. I believe they can adapt to most light though if you have halides, I would start out by placing them lower in the tank. The bubble prefers moderate lighting but it has been doing well in several places in my tank and now it is on the snd bed. Don't give bubbles to much water movement or it may have trouble fully expanding. I was told you can feed it but I have not fed mine. As far as mushrooms, in my experience thet can thrive in almost any lighting and sometimes to the point where they can become a nuissance.

Both are very easy corals to care for.
Just a word of caution with the bubble, they get big, VERY big, so eventually the 12G will become to small for it. Mine opens up to about three times it's size during the heart of the day. Their tentacles also give off a stronger sting than some other corals so make sure you wear gloves when handling it and leave room between it and other corals. They also like to be fed once a week, I shoot some fish food during feeding time at it and that's fine.

Alrighty, thanks guys. Can you frag that bubble coral? If so when it gets pretty big, i can always cut it down and give it my mom, she has a really big fish tank. You also said to wear gloves, what kind of gloves?
Bubble Corals are almost impossible to frag, most people end up killing them in the process.
Latex gloves or most LFS sell gloves meant for handling corals.
