    yes, you can keep them under pc lighting and they prefer low to moderate flow.

    yes Drew Shrooms of many colour varieties will be fine under PCs
    how many and what wattage over what size tank?

    low to moderate flow seems to suite them best
    they tend to stay close to the rock and dont expand to well if the flow is to great for them

    yes, mushrooms will do great under a variety of lighting, including pcs. my friend has a tank full of actinodiscus sp. and rhodactus sp. as well as ricordea yumas under pcs and they all do great!!

    thanks for the heads up
    4 x 65 watt over a 55
    no problem at all IMHO
    just dont forget to change the lamps every 6 - 9 months as they lose colour temp quicker than T5 for example
