What PAR do you keep beauty and the beast paly's under. I have turned mine green and need to know what they like.
I have now put them in a shaded area to see if they color back up.

I have mine on the bottom front about a foot from the left of my 210. I measured par another 6 inches toward the center once and it was 220, so thinking 200 or so in the place the colony is. Radion Gen 4's with 2 Blue Plus T5's. Color is perfect.

I have mine in about 100 par. Had them for a long time and haven't experienced a color shift to green even when they were in higher par (~140). They seem to be doing well otherwise?

That can be a common color for paly's but light and flow you can treat them just like a Zoa. They will like higher light range

Well I took a picture of them through the glass when i first got them. Not a great pic, but you can see the colors a bit. I had them in some what of a shaded area and moved them to a more shaded area. Doh! I will move them where I have a few zoas growing out as I sold most of my zoa's now and have room. Will take a top down later today, so i can see if they progress back and where I want them to be.
