Purple tipped acropora

My lfs has an acro advertised as a purple tipped. They have had it for about 2 weeks under VHO, and it is completely brown. It never had any color to it since they have had it. I realize that this is normal with poor lighting. Normally how long does it take before it starts showing color once it is put in a tank with halides. I am thinking of getting it and I have 2- 250 watt Ushio 10k's, 2- 96w pc 10k's, and 2- 96w pc actinics. Oh yeah, it's a 150g. It would be my 1st acro, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I have lps and softies. All are doing great except the flowerpot.
