    i would say 3 wpg, a good actinic spectrum bulb with it, also on of the purple/pink ones bulbs. coraline likes lesser light then most corals, i dont know the dimensions of the hex, but i always get the best growth under flouscent bulbs not halide(too bad halides would be the easiest fit too). so i would recommend either t5, vho(dont know if they still make these), or pc.
    do you know your dimensions it might help more

    +1 on Dr Fragenstien for me

    MH lighting is often the best option in these odd shaped tanks
