Yes, mine seem to do well, but the Queen of Nano's (DeMartini) swears by them in her BioCube. It's my understanding that mushrooms, zoo's, and most softies will do well with our stock lighting.

I wasn't kidding about DeMartini, she has a great tank that is also a 14G BioCube like ours. She only recently upgraded her lighting so if you check out her diary you can get a lot of great info. Zoo's and frogspawn would be other choices to look into.
One bit of advice I was told was not to glue down the corals until you are sure they can thrive in that particular spot of your tank. If you place one and it doesn't seem to thrive, move it to better light and flow areas. Once you think it has a good home then glue it or have it attach naturally. I'm still making sure my first 5 corals are in good spots and then I need to figure out to glue or not to glue.
One other thing you might discover Fen is to upgrade the powerhead. I am doing that tomorrow to a MaxiJet 900 or 1200. They are only $25 but will increase flow at least 2 times, which is beneficial to corals. I also have been told that the increased flow will help fight my diatom outbreak. The stock pump is rated at 137 gph and the 900 is 230gph and the 1200 is 290 gph.
DM, I hope you don't mind me talking you up!
