I would not even try it. I would however try to find corals that are in that temp range

Yes and no. You will most likely have a hard time keeping the ones we typically see at the LFS. But this doesn't mean that you are going to have a bare tank. Check out reefs along the California coastline. There are all types of critters and even zoanthids. Sure, they aren't PPEs or Eagle Eyes but it is a start

If you can find some diving clubs around there (try the RC scuba section) then you may able to find people to give you more info.

Hope that helps.

Your zoas and Palys would persih in 65 degree water. It's a good thing that you ask and I greatly resepct that.
