IMO only if you have the lights already. They might not make it until the lights show up unless they are getting here like tomorrow, Tues, at the LATEST. Just my $.02

green star polyps grow very fast. not sure anything on the kenyan, but i hear good things about them. Wait..... you were the one taht was getting two corals from your mom's co-worker but didnt have the right lighting yet right? Does this mean that you actualy got the lighting?! or are you going to risk these corals before you get it?! when are you planning on getting the lights?!!

They might make it but they will look crappy. They will be starving and most likely will have some die off. I'd hold off till you get the lights if you can. Just ask the guy if he can keep them for a couple more weeks.

you will try keeping these corals with insufficient lighting? or you will try to get the guy to hold them for a little longer?
