They do not need to be near light, just where there is good flow & easily accessible for regular feedings.
I have maybe 3 branches I can frag for reefers who are willing to feed these gorgeous corals regularly.

I second Anthony's opinion about care for this coral.
I got mine at J&L at the same time when Anthony got his (at KingEdPet?) and i can say if you get it in the spot where you can target feed away from light you should be ok, Mine did not like the lights I have 96Wx2 PC)
It does not like DT's plancton, but this can be different wit other corals i guess.I posted a pic some time ago if someone wants to see how it looks like.

I feed it al coral food mixed together: ReefRoids, Oyster Eggs, Coral Freanzy and PhytoFeast all this in small amounts soaked in tank water for few minutes. Mine had a very small section on the top of one branch that had no flesh on it and now its covered with new growth.
One more thing i learned about gorgonians that they dont like jet flow from power heads that are too close by, Tunze stream pumps are good for slow but massive flow patterns. Also when fragging it helps to remove the flesh leaving the core from the portion to be glued to the rock , this will help with healing.
