Default Fungia plate coral requirements

My lfs has a beautiful orange plate coral i really wanna get and ive read they are hardy and require moderate light and flow. I wanna get it for my 90 which has plenty of both but the tank is only 6 weeks old. Im wondering if i could house him in my gf's 10 gallon thats 6 months old with 4 watts a gallon of pc lighting (10 hours a day) and pretty decent flow. Anyone wanna chime in and give me some opinions on this? I wanna grab it tomorrow if i get the green light on opinions....thanks in advance

Dennis
