Maybe. I've kept one for over a year and a half under 250W MH. However lighting is only a small piece of the puzzle. Optimal and stable water chemistry, moderate flow, system maturity, and the source of the coral are all just as important if not more so.

honestly it wouldnt be me lol elegance are tricky like whatcaneyedo said it depends on many factors.personally if the lights arent great id be really good on water chemistry.if its doing good then its doing good but when they die they die and melt away fast.

good luck though
