Acro's under 216 watts T5's isnt a good idea. Even if you placed it right under the light, the acro;s wouldnt do well.
Like Reefneck said, acropora is the most light dependant SPS. Even with pristine water conditions it wont do well under 216 w T5.

Montipora on the other hand will do great. I have some monti's under 260 watts PC and they do great. At first i had em lower in my tank for a while and they did fine. I just moved it up due to an unfortunate accident while i was away..
