Can I get a couple of coral recommendations for placement inside a cave. Obviously something that does not need much/if any light and doesn't really need to be target fed either.

Is there anything like that?

Cocoworm or hawaiian feather duster, though neither are corals.

I should rephrase... live stock for the cave. Doesn't have to be corals. I'll look these two up. Thanks.

sun coral, dendro, something not photosynthetic.

I have a sun coral already and it can be a pain to feed. If I put him inside my cave it would be near impossible.

Well then you're pretty much going to be limited to filter feeders. Depending how much light get's in the cave you could maybe do zoa's. I really like my coco worm, might be a good option for you, but they can be a little tough to keep.

There are some nice sponges out there. There is a pretty common blue one that has done really well for me.

Do you have a picture by chance? And can you purchase sponges?

Sponges are generally very difficult to keep happy. Not very commonly sold in LFS's, but I have seen them on occasion.

Actinodiscus and Rhodactis types are pretty tolerant of low light conditions. Just be aware they can spread rather easily in some tanks.
