Whats the difference between temperate and tropical reefs? Temperate reefs are cheaper to keep than tropical reefs. They also require cold water (50-70˚ Fahrenheit). Since most temperate corals are found in deeper waters most aquarists reefs consist of just anemones, sponges, and macro-algae (the exception being the orange cup coral). All of these invertebrates are abundant in intertidal and tidal regions of the ocean. Temperate reefs can be a fascinating and enjoyable experience for any aquarist willing to dedicate the time for them.
