It wasn't me!
Hard to tell what kind of LED lighting you have. Corals can be kept under LED lighting provided you have the right type. Yours appear to be awefully white. for you tank if that light does not work I'd look for something in a 4 bulb T5 fixture or Retro-fit kit.

+1 Wade. A nice 4 bulb T5's fixture would be good over a 40 breeder. Check out this place if you're looking for good lighting at a cheaper price. This is where I got my lights from.
