Yes it can.. I have a 12" CF light over my 10gal QT tank and I have coraline growing on the back of the tank already.
Not many, maybe 2 astreia snails, 2 small hermits and 1 nass snail. IMO

For a 1 gal Pico? Stock other than maybe a neon goby, I doubt any fish would be suitable for it. A fire shrimp, or cleaner shrimp.. would be ok, not sure what else. I have seen a 1 gal pico with some LR and a cleaner shrimp in it but thats it.

The most i would stock it with is mabye sexy shrimp, a few frags and definitely no fish, thats a really small tank and a disaster could happen very easily

yeah i wasnt thinking fish .i was talking inverts and maybe
coral

I think the sexy shrimp would be your best bet at that size....they stay small and are funny to watch. Post pics!!
