They all seem to do equally well growing under all standard reef types of lighting, normal output fluorescents, power compacts, vho, and metal halide.
These corals are very hardy and a will make a nice addition to a nano reef aquarium. It will grow quickly, so make sure you have a grow out tank available or someone you can give cuttings too. You won't want to let it become too large in your nano reef, as it could block light out for the corals below it.
