Likely, however if you target feed them once or twice a week they'll look good with near zero nitrate.

Yea I’ve seen mine do great around 40ppm. it’s the high phosphates that really bug them in my experience

My Tank Thread
One needs to be careful extrapolating what are desirable nitrate levels from one system to another because nitrate is not the only, or even the preferred nitrogen source for corals.
Specifically, the amount of N that corals get from ammonia may vary greatly depending on the levels of ammonia present.
Thus, one tank doing great with 0.01 ppm nitrate (or 1 or 5, etc.) might not extrapolate to a second tank where ammonia is lower so more nitrate is needed.
