My past experience is with MH
Currently using LEDs

Under 400w halides I kept a mixed reef in a standard 180.
Didn't have a problem with keeping anything under high light.
Softies, ricordeas, Lps, sps, clams, they all did well.

I believe it has something to do with the light from LEDs. I placed a Lps near the bottom of my tank and pretty much melted it.
My Lps are now off to the side in the shade.

Go figure.
