Well, it's not a LPS (large polyp stony) or SPS (small polyp stony) but it's a "softie". Suggest medium light and low flow. They can spread pretty well given the right conditions. I have mostly LPS in my reef tank, but have a few mushrooms too-frilly green and some blue/green striped ones.

Mushrooms can survive from PC lighting very well, Im sure the metal halide will make it freak out and be great.

As long as theyre opening up all the way, which they look like they are, then theyre happy. Mushrooms just have weird days sometimes too, theyll look all bad and shriveled, but give em a day or a few hours and theyll be fine.
Dunno if its the camera or the bulb, but the picture is looking a bit brown. Might want to consider getting a new bulb. I recommend the Phoenix 14k
