You can keep anything under T5's. I have a colony under T5, but it browned after moving to my upgrade tank. This has got to be one of the most easy to brown SPS I have! I'm waiting for it to color up.

Mine grew like a weed for 3 months then alk spike bleached it ! It's been just sitting there for months now I'm getting ready to toss it!

I've been wanting to toss mine too. Sooo easy to brown. It browned out during a tank move 3 months ago and to this day shows ZERO sign of coloring up.

Awesome pic! I have a tiny frag. Anybody know what species of acropora this piece is?

 

[SPSjunky]

That sure is a very pretty acro and is now on my short list

I picked up a piece during the WWC 24hr. Live sale event. Doesn't look like much currently, rather bland. Reddish purple with a little bit of green around the base. We'll see how it turns out. Mine is currently sitting about 24" under T5's on a frag shelf.

Here's the photo from WWC's thread.

Lets see it in some other peoples tank...or top down pics...the pics do look great, but I feel that they dont show off the coral as best they could.

Any placement and flow tips? Under T-5s!
