I have a stylo that is green tips with pink branches.

I have a few.
My first SPS was given to me as an unkillable Purple Stylo. It's survived all my mistakes and all crashes, though at times it was reduced to a finger sized frags. Above it on a mag frag is an unamed that has green/blue polyps and some pinkish growing tips.
The only real problem I have with the purple stylo is how fast the darn thing grows.
I don't have a recent pic of it other than this out of water top down.
This next one was listed as a ReefGen Orchid Stylo but it did not come on a ReefGen plug.
In my 40 gallon under LED only
In my 150 under T5+LED

What's the care for these? I have a couple of them but it seems the are not growing to fast. Should they be in high flow high lighting? I have them mid level med/high flow and light.

Stylo and gsp are the only Corals I've managed to kill thus far. Meanwhile the rest of my mixed reef is doing great

I have mine at the top and lots of flow.

Decent flow and decent light plus stable params. Not nearly as sensitive as Acropora but not as easy as Monti Caps. The purple stylo is the easiest by far and also the fastest growing. It grows 4 times faster than my other stylos.
One of my first pieces; about three years old.
More than 6" across, 6" tall, from a single small branch.
A different variety here, pretty new.

I have two stylos in my 14g nano under a Kessil A160WE. One of my if not my favorite coral.
This is the blue, it used to be darker but I am working on getting some nutrients back in the tank.
Here is the rose.
Top down, pumps off shot of both, with a forest fire digi in the back and you can jyst see my pink and green pocillopora damicornis in the front.

Are digi's in the same family as stylos.

Montipora digitata is the scientific name. They are in the same family as setosa, undata and capricornis. Stylophora is in the Pociloporidae family with pocillopora and seriatopora.
