Goniopora light requirements

What are they? When I recently bought mine from exotic aquatic they told me it didnt need much light just heavy feeding.

Probably depends more on the color of the coral than it does on the species name itself. What color is it? Lighter green probably need med-high light, darker green or red need a darker light, and yes, more feeding. I imagine them to do better in a tank that instead of having heavy protein skimming, is more dependent on weekly water changes, since it'll have more particles floating around, then a changing of the water to replenish and clean the water, so it only goes a day or two without feeding, versus light to no feeding all week unless targeted. Hope that makes sense

It was dyed bright yellow, does this help lol

It was dyed??? uhm dyed corals have a really really bad tendency of dieing due to abuse. Hopefully it's not really dyed, that it's just naturally yellow. If it's naturally yellow, I would imagine it to need mid-high light, either MH or T5.

Done, will move accordingly. It was definitely "color enhanced" in some form or another. Will move to higher lighting accordingly. Thank you, and next time, ill be a little more sensitive to whether it has been dyed or not.
