Can a non-green creature, specifically the bright orange and yellow "sun coral" in my saltwater aquarium, rely significantly on photosynthesis of algae in its tissues as a source of food, as many greenish invertebrates do? (I posted this to sci.aquaria and got no responses... Please send any you may have to markh@soc1.ssl.berkeley.edu - thanks).
