I have mine under low light and low flow and they love it.

Don't compare to those from Josh, but mine are on the left.



On the sand bed under 250W 14K MH's. I have another clump of the side of a rock getting even less light that aren't as bright. Good amount of flow on both.

I got this from a friend. He had very high under 250w mh. Look at the blue on them it's amazing.

I don't really have a good pic but mine are 30" down on sand bed under 250w Hamilton 14k MH. The flow is normal undertow beneath an mp40 on reefcrest. Grows pretty quickly here, went from 9 polyps to 36 in about 6 months.

This is a thread to highlight a coral and discuss how to take care of it. We are not here to compare pictures. Besides it looks good to me :bigsmile:

Same here. They grow but never fully open. Maybe I should try them lower.

 

[john90009]

since i got my one polpy it hasnt opened at all, while the others all have hopefully its not going to melt.

I no longer have this colony, but I've recently planted the seeds for a couple more to get going. My favorite polyp. Grew it to a huge colony, of 6" diameter all the way around, before taking a break from corals for about 6 months. Remains the biggest rasta colony ive seen in person or online. I always loved taken pics of it with my iPhone.

 

[Duffam3434]

Wow thats a Nice Colony!!

Rasta is one of my favorite zoa ever.
