    Does a Tunicate require lighting? I can not find any info in regards to what type of lighting they require if any.

    Most of what I read says that they prefer moderate to low lighting, but a lot depended on the specific type of tunicate. Purple Line (polycarpa aurata) and Royal Blue (Rhopalaea) moderate to low - Blue Palm (Nephtheis fascicularis) - can be maintained in high light....

    I thought these were primarily filter feeders.

    They are, but I just want ed to make sure if i put it higher in the tank that the lights would not burn it.
