placement ?

Where are you guys putting the garf bonsia and sotosa. I thought the sotosa is a med light but am not sure. THX

Medium is good for the setosa. IMHO, to get and maintain lots of that deep grape purple like Grant has on his GARF B., one needs lots of par. Be careful going straight to a high up mount if it hasn't come from a high par environment.

Setosa ... gets a deeper orange base with lighter orange tips with lower light, and bright lighter orange overall when placed highert.

Bonsai ... lower light you will get more purple and less blue tips, higher light the tips will get more blue and the blue will be deeper/lower into the branching structure.

This is from my experince and in your tank the result might differ.

Thank you. This is kind of what I thought but haven't had these corals before. I rescaped my rock work for my new arrivals from the swap and am really happy with it. I'll have before and after pics soon.
