Coral Cyphastrea

Hi, I have been wondering if anyone has had experience with the cyphastrea coral ( the encrusting ones ). If you have could you please give tips where you keep it in the tank and parameters. That would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I've got some going in my tank. Keep my kh at about 9-10, Sal 35, calc 420ish, and mag at about 1320. I keep it in a shaded area on some rock. I'm told they like 40 to 60par if you have access to a meter. Try and keep away from sand as they can't retract in a way to dust themselves off. Flow, id say low to medium. You'd like to see a little movement on all of the polyps.
