What I learned from extreme corals today

I read your article about how to aclimate
wildoni symphlia and how to care for this coral. I learned very stable parameters
and medium to higher light required. Also,
water should not be too high or too low

Welcome! I don't know if high light is really recommended for wilsoni. I've always read low light and have mine off to the side of the tank under a frag racks overhang that gives it a nice low par area to chill. For reference though, my center sandbed is 150 par since I have SPS in a small 32 gallon mixed reef, so I didn't want to cook it.

@lwien01 Replying to my own post to add on. I'm not knocking them, but I just spun through their articles, and they default to "moderate to high lighting" as a recommendation for their blog posts on most all of the corals for care, including micromussa lords, bowerbanki, blastomussa, etc which arguably don't want high lighting. I'd take those articles with a grain of salt. I appreciate people willing to provide info for new hobbyists, but I'd say the consensus for the ones I listed would be low to moderate lighting.
