I have read a lot about it. Most say cyphastrea does not require strong light, and thus, I added my new cyphastrea to a little crevice where most of the light comes from reflections after a week at the bottom of the tank in a corner.
BUT! lately, I have noticed that the parts of the coral exposed to this reflected light are paler than the rest. Is this bleaching though? I am uploading some poor images, but I hope it illustrates what I mean.
Because I have the RED Sea 90 lights, which are LED (not powered at max), I was afraid of putting the coral in complete shade as I have heard LED lights produce too dark shadows, and so there it is.
Now, I have also heard that cyphastrea can be a bit of a drama queen and that the best course of action is to do nothing and let it acclimate itself. Is this correct though? Or should I move it slightly until it's a bit more covered from the light?
Thanks to you all in advance.
