Well lets see i would consider low lighting to having 2x110watt VHO over a 4ft tank(just an example). Low lighting will vary from tank to tank. If you have a 30in deep tank with a 150watt MH light i would consider that low lighting.

I'll take a wild guess;
A few varieties of softies don't need as much light since they don't have a skeleton to maintain - hence less energy required to survive.

Ryan, you said the
Eleagance coral.... why woudl you consider that a low lighting coral?
becasue of the depth they are pulling them out of the ocean to sell to us? I wonder if the problem we have keep them alive is due to the fact that give it way too much light now?
