Great observations Nano. Temperature question - what do you estimate the ideal to be ?Of interest is that I did find Lobos out on the more exposed, fore reef dropoffs, but they were less prevalent and deeper down, generally. Any shallow Lobos exposed to bright son tended to be smaller and paler in coloration. In the shallower sun drenched, higher energy conditions, Acoporas were abundant and subtle shades of cream to brown, with some having a few colorful pigments on the edges. All the time I was wondering what colors they could display under a quality lighting setup

Okay thanks. When you said the best growth was in cooler temperatures I was wondering if it was closer to 75. My tank is running between 75 and 78.Hard to say for sure, but I wasn't getting cold even after a good amount of time in the water. If I had to guess, I'd say ~80 - 82.

Looks like tissue recession. Could be from parameter swings, lighting, etc. How long has the tank been set up?Hi,
Very interesting thread. I am in reef keeping newbie. I have lost unfortunately some B. C. In the picture you can the last one that is not happy. What would be the cause?
All parameters are ok:
Kh : 8
Cal : 430
Mg : 1290
Salinity : 1.026
Ph : 8
Po4 :0
No3 : 2.5
Hi, the tank has been run more than 14 months. I have the C. B. since last April.Looks like tissue recession. Could be from parameter swings, lighting, etc. How long has the tank been set up?
I did that two times. After every times the problem became worse.I'd try an iodine based dip.
I just moved my lobo from the sand bed to a rock 4" off the sand about a week ago. I just did a superglue/epoxy/superglue sandwich to stick it and it seems very happy so far.Been looking for a decent article covering these. I have a Lobo that is finally starting to get color after 3 months "settling"... thanks for the tips!
I have mine in the sand.. would it matter to put it on rock instead? I'm worried about possible scraping of the exoskeleton..?
