do they need intense lightiing or moderate? When ive been diving ive seen them ar the bottom of the reefs so i presume they would need moderate. But just to be sure.

Usually they need stronger lighting. Most brains preffer being on the sandbed so higher lights are needed to reach the bottom of your tank.
