    Are moonlights for a reef tank necessary?

    There is One possitive effect of moonlight. Fish can see the structure of the reef and it avoids them jumping out if hunted. But normally no Room is that Dark that there is no light!

    ID a couple of things

    I have lots of them. They can multiply very quick. I don't like them Cause some of them can make webs what especially SPS corals don't like. I would suggest to watch them and react if necessary. They have a Long body like a worm and can close their top hole.

    A few Id's Please

    I can guarantee that a. Phalaena will eat them! I am breeding corals and fish for more than 10 Years and this fish is the only fish eating them. Low light wil make them go Away until you turn the lights back on! I had lots of customers having success with this fish!

    A few Id's Please

    Amblygobius phalaena, banded gobby, will active feed on them. It is half true that Cyanos Need higher po4 or no3, the can also exit in a clean water Form. They can also adsorbate CO2 over the Water surface! Low light can cure but wont destinct them!
