Color is going to be in the 10K range with so few blues, but it will grow coral. Coverage might be an issue, as I'm sure they are using tight-ish optics. The lamp will have to be mounted fairly high to cover the tank.

Be able to grow stony corals?It says the color is 6500 and these are 1 watt leds.

 

Thankyou.

If you read closer, it mentions that it has 15 LEDs total. 10 6500K cool whites, and 5 460nm blues. This is a fairly typical setup. It's a little low on blue, which is why I said that you would be looking at about a 10K color temp.

 

Stoney corals is a bit of a broad term. Sps and lps are both stoney corals and have different lighting requirements. This lamp will support both, but you must understand the limitations of using a spotlight. I suggest you read the PAR38 link in my signature.
