They usualy love metal halide. I never have as much extension with mine when I had it under T5 but when I put it in my main tank with MH the polyps really extend.
Gonioporas and alveoporas need some nutriment in the water. A good supplement is Magnaneese and iron as it prevent it from waisting away. Fauna marin make some good food for them and I regulary feed them with coral frenzy, DT live phyto and fauna marin ultra seafan.
I have mine for nearly 2 years now.
Now for the brown jelly...this can be a bacterial infection and the protozoare are slowly eating the xoozanthellea from it. It will be hard to cure but you can try a 20 minutes dip in Furan-2 mixed with tank water. That should kill the bacterias attacking it but it's not sure if it's going to heal because nothing that can kill the protozoares will be safe for the gonioporas.
