I've got a chunk of toadstool bout 4" across that's about 9" from the water surface that's been doing ok. Now mind you there's aanother chunk from the same colony which fell under my rockwork and has been GROWING in the dark shadowy spot between a rock and the glass. So I don't think it's too picky for light anyways lol

advanced aquarist this month did some testing to find the lux requirements of various coral, and found that some soft corals require just as much light as SPS.
