Enquiry bout corals which need low lights..

[metzrocco]

Hi reefers anyone know any corals need low or minimum lightings..??

Me tot of putting it below at a low light area.. Just to filled up the empty space...

Any expert in corals..??

[pokmingsheng]

i'm no expert here,

but you can do a search for non photosynthetic corals on google

example of such can be sun corals and sea fans,

there are many more out there..

just take note they need to be target-fed

[metzrocco]

Humm.. Sun coral should be nice but feeding it would be a hard thing.. Hehe Thankz for the info bro..

I think Prata /Brain tends to lose color or bleaching under low light in long term....
