Rich. Just curious, what are those other guys lighting it with? How are their other reds?

There are guys keeping this coral under LED, t5, and halide. Only one guy keeping the red highlights is running a 400w radium. Not really sure on their other red colors. It's more than the lighting though. I had this coral for months in my old tank under a 400w halide and never got this color. It only started changing in my new tank once I starting adding all the fish. Kingator has a frag under a 250w radium and is currently holding color, only been a couple weeks though. I keep my fingers crossed :)

Unfortunately I lost most of this 14" colony along with all my other large colonies. I am regrowing from a few frags. Many guys in NY and across the country have this coral if you post a WTB thread. As for keeping the red, I've seen it done under every lighting, common factor is heavy feeding/carbon dosing/while keeping low po4. I had best color giving 500-600 par under 400w radium, nitrates 15ppm, and po4 .03. I had MANY fish in my system and fed multiple times daily.
