Does natural sunlight help corals?

[FlameangelLover]

Hey guys I set up this anemone only tank and the sun hits it pretty hard (as seen in the picture) the sun hits it so hard that you can’t even tell the light is on lol. I don’t mind the algae. Once a week I go in and remove it by hand. But I was wondering does natural sunlight help at all?

Well since corals grow in the ocean, I’d say yes lol
