thats a pretty blanket statment.. I think something like depending on the depth and there location they may get more from eating than from light.

there are actualy several tests done in different areas and a few have showen that some SPS domanant areas actualy have very low nutreant levels in the water. So I would say thoes ones are getting more from the light.
