The polyps are getting brighter, and the brown base is slowly getting to be purple.
Right now it's near the top of the tank. do these like high light?
Thanks

Socal mikeT has it in the middle with 14k Phoenix 250mh. Well a year ago and his is in the middle of his tank.

I would say high light medium flow. His grows like the dickens.

I have mine placed high under a 14k 250w Phoenix bulb with medium flow and is growing great with nice color.I do think it could go a little lower.Once it fully encrusted it really started to take off

+1 yup same here. started out slow and was encrusting for a long time....now it's sprouting out fast.

I really like mine. It grows fast and I get the best coloration with it closer to the bottom/mid level of the tank (22 inches away from the light).
