I had been told by a vendor to put them under a lot of light, but when I did, mine bleached. I have it in medium light right now and it seems to be doing well.

they take a bit to settle in tank.. i have mine in med light, and med-high flow. Lighting is 150w MH

medium flow, medium light. that seems to be the best spot for them. i have mine right in that sweet zone and went from 2 to 5 polyps in 2 months.

When i got mine it was so small i couldnt tell what it was in february and now its the size of an pencil eraser. I still only have one polyp

yeah it's hit or miss depends on who you get it from. i had 1 polyp and it was on the smaller side, took forever to pop 1 out but when i got up to 4 it started growing pretty good.
