How much light for hydrophora?

A lot of people classify this as an "SPS". Does it like/tolerate as much light as montipora or acros?

I have mine up in the top 1/3 of my tank with my Arcors and it grows like crazy. I'm running 5 T5's

Mine likes the new metal halides. I am not sure how they would do under power compacts, but have heard they prefer intense lighting.
