From my experience coralline actually prefers not alot of light and the lack of proper alkalinity and calcium levels is usually the case when coralline won't grow.
I can verify that it will grow with 220 watts over a 55 gallon.
Thats the lowest wattage on a tank that I have had.

Agreed and also if can can a rock that is coated with it will help the spread to other rocks.This sound funny but I got some scaping from a reefer when I first got my tank going and turned off all the flow.Sprinkled the flakes,let then attach and resumed tank flow.The next mounth my rock was coated.

i can verify, that coralline really doesnt care about light lol. I have roughly 1/2 watt per gallon. mine grows all over my rocks. Purples, greens, red, pink, yellow. I have 30 watts over my 55 gallon.
Cant wait to see what happens when my halides go up lol.
