Our mother colony is kept midway in the tank with med/high flow under a 6 bulb T5 fixture. We also have two frags kept on the substrate with med flow in the same tank. Color on the mother colony is deeper than on the frags. Under our metal halides, the color is very, very dark.

Ok. Thanks. Then to get the best coloration under t5 place it on the upper part of the tank is better.

Slow grower. Very slow. Painfully slow.

Mine's pink, and will bleach easily under LEDs. I keep it low and off to the side, out of the bulk of the light fixtures intensity.

Mine is supposed to be orange. Right now is mostly brown with orange polyps
