Are there any LPS corals that enjoy high lighting?
 
I find a lot can do well if acclimated slowly. In addition to some torches i have at very high light i have some acans and blastos that do great at over 350 par at peak photo period. Some echinophyllia chalices i have adapted to very high light as well. Have a hollywood stunner in almost 500 par and it grows great and gets orange in the eyes under very high par.

Think there is probably many LPS that can thrive in higher light as long as it is gradual adjustment.
 
I guess it depends on what you mean by high light. A lot of times it will slow their growth dramatically
 
My Pectinia is just below the surface right below the lights. Its growing like a weed! Started out as a very small frag.

I’ve got a Duncanopsammia peltata (used to be Turbinaria), a Hollywood stunner, and candy canes in around 250 PAR right now, and I’ve kept torches, Duncans, Turbinaria reniformis, and blastomussas at fairly high light in the past.
