The shrimp don't have any special lighting needs but your coral most likely will. For low light corals in a nano tank I'd personally look at zoanthids. You will need circulation yes, not sure if a Koralia nano will work in a 5g, someone with a smaller nano might know on that and your other questions.
 
lol i might get a 10 gal, but do i have to get real live coral?
 
hum, but i dont geta bout the gravity thing and the others stuffs about sw
