I have a xmas tree rock. You're right, it is hard to get info on them. I have heard the same as you as far as the porites needing strong lighting and the worms not caring for it. I have had mine for about 6 months. It is at the bottom of my tank under only 260 watts of PC lighting. (It's a 75 gallon). So far the porites seems to be okay but it hasn't spread. About two months ago I thought most of the worms had died, their holes looked empty for a long time. I guess they just threw their crowns because they have now got their feathers back and look better than ever. I do have some little brittle stars that stick their arms out of the holes in the rock sometimes, IDK if that's what you are seeing or not. What color feathers do you have? Mine is pretty plain, I was hoping for some of those pretty blue feathers.
