I don't have any corals, not yet. I believe most - if not all temperate corals are nonphotosynthetic.
But the anemones I have are both.
Anemonia viridis' are photosynthetic and Actinia fragecea and eques, Urticina felina and others are nonphotosynthetic. There are also some random small anemones, but they have buried somewhere...
Fishes:
2 Anthias anthias
2 Lepadogaster lepadogaster
2 Chromis limbata
2 Apogon imberbis
2 Macroramphosus scolopax
3 Capros aper
3 Thalassoma pavo
Also some urchins and stars, such as Asterias rubens, Leptasterias muelleri and Astropecten irregularis.

The one with the long snout is Snipefish, Macroramphosus scolopax.
The tank is in my European animal room where I also keep my newts and salamanders and other European species, like my Leopard snakes. The room is kept cool over winter and the chiller basically runs only when the outside temperature rises closer to summer temps.
It's a 1/2ps chiller by Hailea and I have found it to be quite excellent

A few pictures I just snapped.
The elusive Apogon imberbis still won't let me take their picture, but one Chromis limbata was more co-operative...
This species of Chromis is not normally found in the aquarium trade. The ones I have are the only ones I have ever seen live.
They grow to an impressive size of 5" (13cm).
The majestic Anthias anthias have proven to be much more brave and active than I ever expected.
They are about 4-5" now (10-13cm) which means they are only half the size they may reach!
This is the first Anthias species ever described by Linnaeus in 1758 and is to my knowledge the largest one too...
The pelvic fins are ridiculously enlarged and their colours are otherworldly.
Another rarity in the trade are the Snipefishes Macroramphosus scolopax.
Their almost upright, head down posture makes them super fascinating to watch, though they seem rather plain in colour.
These active swimmers have the tiniest little mouth at the end of their trumpet-like snout.
Anemonia viridis Snakelock anemones. At the moment there are 11 of these. They multiply quite well in captivity, but they have yet to do so in my tank.
Urticina felina Dahlia anemones. These ones I have collected myself and I have dozens of them scattered in the tank.
