Lobophyllia - How Much Light

[taras12]

Im new to LPS and bought a great red Lobo. It's extending it's tentacles at night and low light, especially early in the am. The bright red is starting to fade. I have it on the bottom in open water, fairly good flow and light ~432 watts (90 gal) T-5's.

How to I bring it back to the deep red color?

Keep it in low light...as low as you can ni that tank. Are you overdriving your bulbs....that could be part of the issue. Maybe you can find a way to shade it in an overhang. It needs time to adjust to all that light.
