What are good corals that don't need a lot of lighting?

[the37thchamber]

Besides Gorgonians.

Sun Corals?

 

[sfsuphysics]

many of the soft corals like mushrooms, zoanthid, kenya tree, colt corals don't reqiure a lot of light, some of them do benefit mind you but it's not a requirement since they are more apt to get food out of the water column than our stony brethren.

Sun corals require no light, they're not photosythetic which means you have to manually feed them.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

What kind of lighting are you running?

I've had zoas, mushrooms, nepthea, and kenya under overdriven Home Depot shop lights. Grew really well.

Xenia grew really well under that too, but tended to stretch a lot.

You're probably using something better than shop lights, I'm guessing

i have a 2, 15 watt bulbs - 1 actinic and 10k fluorescents - i wanted to get a compact fluorescent but some1 told me that it might heat up my water too much.

What size tank and how deep? Some Chalice fair well in low light conditions as well.
