Pocillopora and LEDs

[fishdude]

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Has anyone had success growing Pocillopora under LEDs? I've got a mixed reef under LEDs and everything has had great growth except the Poc. Then I found this article... </span></span>

Wasn't able to open the article, so I'm not sure what is says. However, you'll see I posted a pocillopora colony for sale, partly due to the fact that it doesn't seem to be having the same type of success since I switched to led from t5. However, I don't have the ideal coverage, and it sits in somewhat of a shadow under where the two fixtures come together.

That being said, I have a frag that's under more direct light that looks great. It just seems that my current led setup doesn't provide enough coverage to get down through all of the branches. Just my newbie observation.

I have a Pink and Green Pocillopora under LEDs and the color, growth rate, and polyp extension have never been better... It has been under this lighting for about 1.5 years.

I have a sour apple poc. and a purple stylo that are growing like weeds with great color and polyp extension under my leds.
