I am confused their are multiple sights saying to have a high par and multiple that say low. I have it in a shaded area right now and it lost its yellow color.
However the green polyps are still there and under blue light it is a faint yellow in spots of it. What would suggestions would be good.
All parameters are good. alk 8.25 ca 450 mg 1375, phosphates.04 Nitrates 4ppm. Ph steady 8 to 8.15 Temp steady 77.8 to 78.2. I also does
red seas ab nutrition and trace elements I do about 3/4 the recommend trace so as not to overdose. Weekly water change 10%. Flow would be Moderate where the coral is.
 
This is one I've always wanted but never owned. Maybe someone with experience will weigh in.
so its color is starting to come back, it seems that it needed higher phosphates when my phosphates went up to .1 it started gaining back its color. seems to do well in 150 par
