Green slimer placement?

[bheld]

My green slimer seems to have a fairly bleached branch but the polyps are still bright green...I have it placed high in the tank and was wondering if this was a SPS that should be lower...my other SPS are colored fine

A lot of flow too?

 

[Todd March]

This coral thrives with tons-o-light and tons-o-flow. The amount of flow can actually influence the growth patternâ€"thicker and heavier branches (classic Green Slimer look) with heavy flow, thinner and skinnier (more staghorn-eee look) with lower flow...

Thank you Todd, very good info.

Mine loves light and flow. Grows like a weed. I have to clip it often.

I have mine 5" away from a 250W 10K MH. It loves light.

This is classic Green Slimer. It often grows up out of the water (or to its surface).

Placement of my Green Slimer

Currently running 2 Aquaullumation Hydra Twenty Six HD LED's on my 120 mixed reef system. The frag is about 7'' from the surface and about another 9'' from the AI HYDRA HD 26 - What are your thoughts on the placement of my GS FRAG?

 

[Mr06evo]

I agree with everyone. I have mine high up and in a high flow area. Growth and color has been great so far. I'm running hydra 52's at like 45% using the ab+ program.

Similar experience here; high light, high flow. Fast grower and easy to let it get out of control. Just this past week end I had to remove a huge colony that was almost 7 pounds in total weight. Grew to the top of a 30" tall tank, and significantly cut down on tank flow and necessary swimming room.

Do you have a "green slimer" or a "bali green slimer"?

I had a bali green slimer before that I liked but died, and recently I bought "green slimer" from someone and it looks nothing like my old bali green slimer. it does slime a lot though when out of water, just like the bali green slimer.

Mine's up top directly in front of my mp40.

That's a tough problem to have. [emoji6]
