will this be enough light for a pipe organ coral?

The light is 5" above water. 156W T5. (2 blue, 2 white)--- 40 gal breeder.
I placed the coral 14" under water.

I know these corals require intense lighting. This is a zoanthid and mushroom only tank, but I really like the pipe organ corals.

Back in the day, I had a pipe organ with PC lighting and it grew just fine. That coral was probably 6-8" below water, in a 100 gallon aquarium with 300W of PC, and the lights were 6" above the water.

I have space to move it closer to the light, but I want to know your opinions.

thanks.
 
I have a little one that is in my biocube under compact fluorescent lighting. It does fine.
