no light?

so ive been reading a bit, and have noticed people saying, Small soft corals and small anemone do not, need a light in a small tank?

im not too sure of this... wanted to get peoples opinons with more knowledge.
SO! is this statement true?
or do i infact need a special light for my 10 gallon tank,
that gets about 8 hours of indirect sunlight a day?

Thanks

 

indirect sunlight is not enough, but full sunlight causes major algae problems. for a small tank a nice fisxture that can grow coral would be pretty cheap

 

okay so in saying that.

how cheap and could you suggest some online suppliers?
Thanks.

 

Yes they will need some type of lighting to sustain the zooxanthellae, this is especially true of anemones.

in such a small tank this thing would work great i had one over my 16 gallon nano. it grew everything from my carpet to lots of sps. for a great price as well

 

what light you need will depend on what type of anemone you have
