Low/No light corals
 
G'days,

Pondering an idea, and without a fancy encyclopedia of corals, having a tough time...

I'm looking for some basically no light corals - carnation and sun polyps come to mind. I know there are others - anyone have easy access to a list of the more commonly found ones?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

you do realize that they will require daily feeding and sometimes spot feeding to keep them alive.

lot of work to do a tank like that.

Oh yeah, I realize what they'll require... GARF R-C and others have lots of good info on keeping the non photosynthetic corals.

My major concern with the tank setup I'm planning is keeping the nitrates down without needing more than weekly waterchanges...

I'm probably the exception; I like my aquaria hobby for the challenges, not so much for the "Overall beauty", yes I like to sit and relax watching the fishes. But I much prefer to kill 2-3 hours "Tinkering" etc.

A few feather dusters might do well, mine only comes out at night.

if you have dirty water stuff like xenia will grow in lower light conditions.

Ahhh . . . ? They're not corals . . .

But anyhow . . if you want to add color to your tank add orange or blue sponges . . . chili coral (red)? cats paw is cute . . . How about mushrooms? . . . they rely heavily on plankton tho (low or no light corals) so I hope your ready :biggrin: . . .
