What is the name/names of the corals that kind of glow/glow in the dark? Also, any corals that do not require high lighting?

Thanks. Wait so if the coral needs low lighting how do I know whats too low? My lighting is 120 VAC 60Hz and 20W. P.S If this light is not strong enough I will get a new light. Also I was looking at the Ricordea coral and noticed it needs low light, but what about at nighttime when you turn the light out coral are fine right?

T5 or Compact florescent strait bulbs will work for the list I gave. If you need more help post up a pic and more info on your light there will be a part number that may have a T number with it T8, T10.

You want T5 or Compact florescent strait bulbs with reflectors and as many as you can fit...

So I can't have corals with aT8 light? It is 10000k as well.I only have a 37 gallon tank. Answer these questions please: Could I have an assorted torch coral, a candy cane coral and a frogspawn coral with this light? Or if this is not possible, I know my lights will suffice for low light corals
