Brain Coral Question.

Would a brain do well under compact fluorescents? I have a 46gal with 2 96w fluoros, 1 12,000k and 1 actinic along with 3 moon bulbs.

Please don't take this wrong, but I'm aware of at least three corals commonly referred to as "brain corals".
My three:
Lobophyllia did poorly under PC, improved with MH
Blastomussa did well with PC
Favia did well with PC
Hope this answers your question
