Your LFS may have told you that they don't like halides for one of two reasons. First, sunburst are a deepwater species to begin with so their natural location has less light than most of the reef fish we know and love. Secondly, they hide in caves even at the depths that they normally inhabit, so a really bright tank is a bit unnatural. That being said, these fish would probably seek cover in a low light tank just as much as they would in a bright tank...so it's probably not an issue as long as you've got a cave or two.
