A bit confused...

Hey Anthony, I was reading through RK latest article, "All in the Family" An IMAC Review and came across the following statement by Eric Borneman......

Reef Aquarium Myths: Tales From The Dark Side

"Also, corals do not reach for light. The perceived extension of coral polyps is a response to water flow and desire to optimize prey capture."

I was under the impression that Coral's will reach for light when the lighting scheme is inadequate..?.

Whats your take on this? I thought Corals reaching for light is well known and accepted truth regarding coral behavior.

Its an interesting perspective and one that I am not honestly qualified to dispute. Eric is a good friend and a mind that I hold in high regard.

I must admit though that I was/am under the same impression that corals do pan for light. I am very interested in discovering more about this myth/belief.

Kind regards,

Anthony
