RPEs

[blackheart]

I just got a new colony of RPEs with about 12 polyps on it the polyps are pretty faded right now but have been opening up and taking cyclopeez and also some brine what do you recommend for light on these. I want to bring the color back. They are high in my tank i have 150 HQI 14K pheonix bulbs. sould i leave them high move them low you guys tell me. Thanks

Since they are faded, I'd put them lower in the tank until they start to color bak up, then start movign them up. I have mine about 6" below water surface with a 175W 14K Iwasaki (closer to 9K in color, though, but it blasts light).
