Find the light that has what you want. Not all lights provide the same look or par and have different features. I have had DIY retro kits, Chinese black boxes, Radeons, and currently using the Tesla EVO. They all have pros and cons.

I got a question I got that lil coral 2 striped damsels n 2 emerald crabs n one died it wouldn’t move n I woke up n was up side down the other one is hiding in the rocks Should I be concerned?

Without knowing the cause of death it's hard to say but based on what I know, it could be because of territory. It's said that 1 emerald crab per 20 gallons of water, you had 2 in 15 gallons. What are your water parameters? Is there enough algae for 2 emerald crabs to eat?

So I just started my aquarium I go to my local fish store to test my water so I don’t really know my parameters they just say that it fine wen they check it N algae I don’t have non in my tank yet

How long has the tank been up and running? I don't know your fish store but they aren't all newbie friendly. Some will take advantage of you to keep gaining income.

Like a month and a half I only bought damsels fish n a coral n the crab But that’s how it looks

You might get by with what's in the tank now. I would test your own water. And don't add any other decorative crabs until algae has built up.

This can be detritus or diatoms. Detritus is organic material not consumed by your livestock and if flow isn't hitting an area, it will settle there and leech toxins into your tank. The diatoms are algae typically seen when cycling. If you ensure your nitrate, nitrites, and ammonia are close to 0, this should resolve.
