I placed mine halfway down, currently running 2 ai primes, the growth has been good. First pic is from June the day i got it, the second one is now.
 
I have had mine on the bottom of my 24 in deep tank and it's nuts good (ai sol)

I have had one on the glass 6-8in from the top of My 20in deep tank and it blew up. (Sbreeflight light )
It's currently a bit shaded and on the bottom and has slowed in growth. Also has less flow.

I'd say it's a med to high light coral , and likes excellent flow.


What are you're settings and photo period ? How high above the tank?

Although , id suspect flow.
 
I have my sunset off to the side about halfway up the tank it's a slow grower I will say but it's growing

It you want the fastest growth I would say med light and decent flow. Lower light and my pylops stay green a little higher up and get more yellow, but that could also be something else..
 
Light is on tank using the legs it comes with. I'd say blue is 60 to 70 percent, whites 5, blues on 12 hours, whites I think 4
Those are 8in or ten above the tank?

I'll throw the meter on mine tomorrow and see what I get at that distance and those %.

IMO you would benefit from some more white. The red kick would be quite benifical. .

Mine in the 55 is in kinda turbulent but mostly laminar flow.
This was mostly grown under ai sol.

Mine has been a fast grower and always has great colors that really pop. It's on the bottom of my 75 under 6x48 T5's.

I picked it up from a guy that had it on one of those 3 or 4 frag rocks and I didn't habe anything to cut it off so I left it.

Where do u guys place your sunset months? I've had one for about a year and no significant growth. I have a 55 with sbreef lights

I have the same monti I got it as a mystic sunset. 46 bow front tank with 1 Sb reef 16” it’s about 10 inches from the light at a 45 degree angle from the light 50% whites and 60% blues over a year span it’s grown about a 5” circle when my let’s turn on I’ll post a pic.

Nitrates undetectable along with phos

Alk 9.5
Cal 480
Mg at 1300-1600
 
lower light the better for these guys... if you put them in intense light they will bleach. I have a huge colony at about 120 par and it grows amazing
