Low Light Species?

[x.ace.x]

I was wondering if there are any types of corals, sponges, etc. that do not require such high intensity lighting.. I know a lot of corals use photosynthesis to make their food, so lots of lighting is a must, but are they any that don't, that would be okay with just florescent lighting or something similar?
-Thanks

there are quite a few non-photosynthetic corals to choose from, but they'll need to be fed.
many sponges live on the undersides of rocks and filter feed as well.

carnation corals. research them. they need lots of food.

mushrooms dont need a lot of light, sun coral, dendrophillia if you got money, rhizotrochus if your rich

We have a nonphotosynthetic forum for you to get more ideas from.

Buyer beware. Nonphoto's need lots of daily target feedings. They are usually considered for advanced hobbiest. You could spend money only to have them slowly starve and have nothing to show or you could upgrade to t5's and have a reef of softies or lps. Just a thought.
