It will also burn the fish not just the corals. I suspect even about 15 minutes could do some serious damage to them

I agree with Christy. I saw an article some time back about someone breaking the shield and not replacing it. Some very serious UV damage to fish and corals.

Better stock up on lots of sunscreen for your reef critters!

glass alone will filter 99.9% of the worst UV, and something like 94% or the second worse. the third UV is not that bad.. so to anser your question yes they use plane glass as it is a UV filter.
