That's not true IMO. I've seen way too many baby cichlids bulk up on brine shrimp alone. Also, I've had great results feeding corals nothing but brine shrimp. Button polyps would be a good example of this. (palythoa) The growth was phenomenal.
I had this one for about 5 years in my old 60 gallon reef. It was placed about 3/4 of the way up in a moderate current. My lights consisted of four 110 watt 48" VHO bulbs ( 2 actinics, 2 50/50) and a 30 watt NO flourescent bulb. (10K) Pretty undemanding coral IME. Once you find the right spot it should take off.
mine looks like this too but my dumb camera doesn't like to take shots with low light =o/ yours looks very nice! Mine is a lot happier moved down and sheltered behind one rock so it's only getting the majority of the flow from the one powerhead instead of both. I plan on getting some ATI bulbs soon to help with the color as well.
