They look fine, they will grow & grow & grow & grow & grow & grow in just about any lighting. condition. If you plan to keep more exotic corals, I would keep that rock in a position where you can control it's spread, they can be very invasive.

You can put small rocks around the parimeter of the colony. When it grows onto the small rocks pull them off and trade them.
