Hello:Should be fine under that light,water flow should be low for mushrooms,low to medium for tree coral.The polyps will do fine under that light,vho would bring out the better color on polyps but they will be fine,try to put the polyps the closest to the light.They also like medium water flow.

Is 260 too much for button polyps?

Is 260 too much for button polyps?
My button polyps are under 1020 and doing fine

 

[doodle1800]

yikes -1020
then which polyps or ?? like low light?

 

[reefnut]

button polyps will do well under lower lighting also

Doodle its all about placing as well. I wouldn't place them directly under MH but rather in a corner spot that looks "shady" or on the bottom.

Normally I would agree. I have the main colony in a corner that isn't really shaded but don't get the full lighting. This cluster though is on one of the top rocks in direct light and they are doing really good.
