I hadn't considered this coral before, but have read more recently that it does well with other lighting besides MH. With the specs. listed below do you think I can keep this coral? BTW, my 24" lights are 130 watt total.

i had mine under pcs for years and it did great, grew quickly and kept its color. it was about 5 inches below 2x32w 10k and 03 actinic. the coloration is hoever better now that i have halide but it can work...just dont get upset if the color shifts to more of a dull pink
captive frags may do well w/o MH but i don't think WC colonies or acrocultured will fare that well--they would probably just brown out. The flow is touchy because it is really sensitive to flow and will adapt its growth accordingly. Too much and this delicate coral will stoop over to mimick it and too lew will allow diterious build-up between the branches and the base because it can get dense inside there once it has grown out.
