Question
How long will a Mushroom or and Polyp Corals live with out much light.

are there anything els that I need to know about them to keep them alive in my tank.


Answer
In some cases they will live all depends on how far they are from the light. They may not do well without the right lighting. How long will they live I don't know, I Have always had metal halides in my tanks. If you plan on keeping them please try and work on getting the proper lighting for your tank.
