I've had this acropora for probably a year now. I'm not sure what it is anymore. I'm thinking maybe Tropicana? Anyway, it lost its color almost immediately. I've moved it all over the tank, and for the last 6 months it's been sitting way up high on the rocks getting close to 200 par next to my Maxima Clam. It was underneath a prime 16 HD. I know it's not that much par but on the other side of the aquarium I do have a Walt Disney frag in a similar position that has decent color and has been growing, albeit slowly. I think I'm going to move it down a little lower. Any thoughts? Or confirmation on ID would be appreciated

Man, am I bad at IDing sticks.

Bump for you.

I would leave it instead of moving it around, and try to increase that PAR quite a bit. I would also be curious about alk, Ca, salinity, N & P, and water change schedule.
