Do corals need white light?

Yes, corals benefit from white light as it mimics natural sunlight and supports overall growth. It provides a balanced spectrum that helps with photosynthesis for the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) living in corals.

Do corals need blue light?

Yes, blue light is essential for corals. It enhances their fluorescence and promotes the growth of zooxanthellae, especially in deeper reef environments where blue wavelengths penetrate best.

Do corals need light at night?

No, corals do not need light at night. They require a dark period to rest and regulate their biological processes. Constant light can stress them, so a natural day-night cycle (e.g., 8-12 hours of light) is ideal.

Do corals need red and green light?

Red and green lights are not essential for corals. While they can absorb some red light for growth, blue and white light are more critical. Green light is the least useful for photosynthesis in most coral species.

Do corals need UV light?

Corals can tolerate small amounts of UV light, which may enhance coloration, but too much can damage them. A controlled amount (via UV-protective bulbs or filters) is fine, but it’s not a necessity.

How long can corals go without light?

Corals can survive without light for about 1-2 weeks, depending on their health and energy reserves. Prolonged darkness will cause the zooxanthellae to die off, starving the coral.

How many hours of light do corals need?

Corals typically need 8-12 hours of light per day, depending on the species and tank setup. A consistent cycle (e.g., 10 hours on, 14 hours off) mimics natural reef conditions and supports healthy growth.
