i am cycling my first saltwater tank a fowlr tank but was wondering is their any type of coral that would live without the lighting of a reef tank

[FoMoCo Master Tech]

Do a search on non-photosynthetic corals (NPS). Keep in mind though, that NPS corals require manual frequent feedings and many are difficult to care for. Like regular corals, phoshpates and nitrates have to be maintained at low levels. Excellent water quality is a must.

[Reefing Madness]

There are a few low lighting coral out there. The ones listed by FoMo are typically night corals,meaning they don't do anything during the day when you do have lighting on.
