    Do you mean Sun Coral? If so, they dont need lighting, they need to be target fed. Depending on your lights is where you should place them.

    Yeah, place them in a shady spot or low in the tank, otherwise they might start to bleech out and lose their vibrant color. Spot feeding will help keep them healthy if you don't feed your tank daily and allow them to grow quicker.
