chili coral-proper lighting?

I see that swf has a beautiful coral for sale that is called a chili coral. It says it is easy to care for, and that it requires moderate flow. But it doesn't mention the type lighting it requires. I do not have metal halide lights, so if it requires strong lighting, I need to know. Wouldn't want to waste my money on something just to see it die. Does anyone have experience with this coral?
Thanks.

That shouldn't be listed as easy, they need constant food from the water, they get no food from the light and are almost impossible to keep without turning your tank into an algea farm. Aren't you glad you asked before buying this one? swf needs someone more informed to put care levels on living stuff.
