zooantids

[Jacob Abshire]

What are the lighing requriments for these guys? Are they fairly low light tollerant? I am planning on setting up a 20gal with some live rock and corals, but am only planning on a little light, not sure as to how many watts per gallon. I was thinking mushrooms, zooantids, sponges, and maybe a leather coral. WIll thiese do well under little light? Thanks, Jacob.

You need to quantify what you mean by "little light." Mushrooms and zooanthids, generally speaking, can tolerate lower light levels. The leather would need a bit more. What size tank and what lighting are you considering? If you're interested in keeping corals, you'd do best by saving up and getting good lighting right off the bat.
