Acropora Lokani?

I saw this coral on one of the various frag sites, it is described as being low light....I cannot find much info on it after 4 pages through google...I was wondering if anyone has more information on this species.
 
Here's what I could find:

I didn't see anything that said low-light. Carlos said he keeps his under 10000k 250w mh. Frags.org entry said 20000k mh.
 
I don't think Lokani has lower lighting requirements.

Anacropora is a good alternative to the Montipora genus for an SPS that is tolerant of lower light and worse water quality.
 
I emailed Eric at frag farmer and asked him to define what low light actually is...I will share the reply when I get it.
 
Many of the 'smooth' looking corals are said to be collected from deep water. But many of these can be adjusted to our MH lighting. I believe that our 250 watts, or even 400 watts do not compare to natural sun light that may very well penetrate 'deep water'.
My 'ORA Purple Pillow' looks like a smooth acro but it enjoys being on top spot getting plenty of MH light.
