Just got this and forgot the name opps.
And just figured how to attach image on here.

Looks like a chalice, that's all I got.
Winnipeg?

How did you guess wpg

Looks kinda like closed up cyphastrea, could be a chalice though.

I think it was a cypharsta they told me. By the pics it was blue and the red flowers.

Just wondering how long it takes to turn from brown to blue

Put it in lower/shaded light and it will start to blue up.

Put it in lower/shaded light and it will start to blue up. I keep mine in a little cave, as it creeps out of the shadows it begins to lose color.

It's in a 6 nano I can try to shade it

Cyphastrea? Meteor shower?
If it is, it needs some help.

Here's mine, and I don't keep it in a cave.

It's a Cyphastrea, needs lower light.

Why do some say low light some say it doesn't matter

 

[winterpeg]

I just moved it to a shadded spot

How long do you think before it starts to get better?

Two reasons, the first is they literally don't know any better but are pretending otherwise which is a lot of people on the internet in general. The second is that light intensity is different in everyone's tanks. You can hit a cyphastrea with a lot of blue light, so if you run a bluer spectrum you can keep it higher, but they're really touchy towards yellower light so in a whiter spectrum like in your tank you'd want it to be shaded.

Maybe a couple of weeks and maybe never, it really depends on your lighting and tank parameters. If you run a yellower spectrum overall you're going to have a hard time getting the colors you want out of it.

I'm using a AI nano light.
I have my spectrum
All set to about 50 % during day.
Then at night goes to more blue.
Then moon cycle at night

I have moved it to a shade area

 

[winterpeg]

Ok after my last post they still haven't really done anything. I moved to a low-light area.

I keep a cyphastrea at the top and losses no colour. As with most types of corals as long as you acclimate them slowly to high light they will adapt.

My meteor shower is on the sand bed and it's doing great!

Put it on something cool to encrust.
