I use LED lighting - fox corals in my experience do need "dirty" water -but not bad water lol. Low no3 and low po4. I noticed my fox coral thriving when I placed them on the sand and under a table acro (indirect lighting) and in a turbulent flow (not direct flow)
I do feed reef fuel and reef roids once a week (1/2 dose and 1/4 dose)
When they inflate they take in and absorb nutrients.
Good luck :-) and as an un-scientific observation when I first got my fox coral it would always tell me that my cal was down by not inflating fully for a few days.
don't be afraid to move it around to see were it likes it the most - just be careful the coral can puncture or tare easily.

I am also wondering if my tank is to clean and it isn't getting enough food from the water. I fed my bubble coral a couple of times over the last week or so and it seems to have perked up
