Cyphastrea - Direct / Indirect Lighting

My meteor shower likes direct light about 75 par. Down there bottom right.

Thanks for the heads up, I run 5 XR30 pros and have had this on a frag rack near the top for what seams like months, definitely a couple, moving that guy down to the bottom tonight.
 
Beautiful piece there! Did it ever bleach out, or loose color at all? As soon as I moved it to full light, the main body lost color...but it kept growing and adding polyps.
No - never bleached or lost color. Had for about 2 years now. Has grown in different spurts. You can see the original plug that it grew out from. The other corals around it keep it bound.
