Coldwater coral Reefs found

[Heyguy74]

I saw this article. Very interesting. I would never have thought that coral reefs would be found 800 meters down. Cold water and no light.

I'm contemplating getting some corynactis anemones for my reef tank. They can grow (and grow well) at high reef temperatures or cold water temperatures. Kind of shocking. They are quite gorgeous, too. Anyone know of any place that sells them online?

theres a really awesome fish for coldwater tanks, but I can't think of what it is... anyone have any ideas?

Catalina gobies, a lot of boxfish, garibaldi damsels etc. There are quite a bit of great coldwater fish.

I would guess these species would be difficult to keep. My guess is they would be sensitive to light. Also, temps would be a problem. Considering at those depths the water is near freezing.
