Lighting for live rock?

Does live rock need lighting to stay "alive"? I was thinking about trying a type of denitrater without going towards chemicals and thought that using the coil method set up with live rock instead of bio balls would work a little better. I just don't know that live rock can handle being in the dark all the time.

Thanks for all your help!!

My guess is it will be fine...

Don't they aquaculture rock at about 90 feet deep in the gulf? I could be WAY off however and I am interested to hear a more knowlegable person answer this too
