Depends on the colour you're going for - if it's all pink and red, have it up where it will get a lot of light.

If you're going for a very green base colour with a nice pink edge to the corallites, give it an area where it gets less light.

I have my frag under 2x24w T5HO bulbs right now (as I transfer tanks) and it's gone back to the dark green base and red/pink corallites you see in the ORA pictures. I can take PAR measurements for you later, but it's not getting a whole ton of light - the bulbs are crappy Current USA ones, and more than a year old too.

When I place it in the main tank, it'll definitely go in an area of low light so that it keeps it's green base colour.
