Corals without Light !
I need to take out my corals and place them in a 50g container for the moment, for about 4-5 days.
Will they live without lights for about 4-5 days ?! |

depending on the types - it's hit or miss

they should be fine. i am cooking some LR and found 2 button polyps on one that hadn't had light for 3 months, dropped them in my tank and they were back to normal in a few days.

In my experience, yes they will be fine. I kept my corals in a rubbermaid for 8 days with a single powerhead and heater with no losses.

No problem for a healthy coral to go a few days without light.
