Hi guys, wondering if this coral is a high light coral? Like will it get brighter corals at 500 600 par?
 
I've got mine in very high PAR. Probably around 500-600 PAR. It is doing very well.

I have mine at 500 with good results (though some reports I've seen say they get better color at moderate par levels). This one doesn't like shading at all so make sure to mount completely vertically. I had mine mounted somewhat horizontally in the beginning and it started to die from the shaded side pretty quick. I was able to save it by remounting vertically.
 
500-600 PAR also. Seems happy. it grows pretty fast at that PAR. I'm not that happy with the color. It's mostly green with a bit of purple at the tips. I may cut a few branches off and try lower PAR and see what happens.

It could also be spectrum. I'm running my LEDs add about 15 K.
 
I'm running a T5 hybrid w/Radion. Bulbs are blue plus and coral plus. Radion is using SPS AB+ spectrum at 65% intensity.
