Hey,I got a question. I picked up one of these from creative for super cheap a few weeks back and I put it halfway up and it browned. I'm running a prime on a ten gallon fusion. I don't see any bleaching, but I've never had cyphastrea. I did some more reading and moved him down to the ground and in the corner, practically under a ledge. Where do you keep yours, light-wise? Do you think it will color back up? Any advice is welcome.
 
NOLA. I've been tinkering with my lights and found that I brow. Some corals with my Primes. I just dialed everything back and everything seems happier but I'm not sure if they'll color back up.

Most Cyphastrea love the dark so keeping it out of direct light and if possible under an overhang it should color back up.
 
With the meteor shower the color will vary. Lower intensity for blue skin higher for green. I put mine usually on the bottom in direct light. Shadowing can be tricky especially with LEDs.
 
Thanks guys. Here's to hoping the colors come back. I really want that blue skin that it had when I bought it.

I have come to find that everything that I have ever had brown has colored up or given new growth with color, given the right parameters. Now... Some of this stuff has taken a year or more and people prefer to throw away a piece instead of keep a brown coral in their tank that long.
