I’m looking for some guidance on coral placement and lighting for a lime green Cyphastrea. I have a 75 gallon tank with Kessil 360 led lights. Please let me know if additional information is needed.
 
I have a cyphastrea mid tank level. Seems to love it there under radions
 
I've always gone mid to low light for them. Some keep them higher in the tank, but they'd have to be slowly acclimated. They're one of the few corals that doesn't actually need light on all sides to thrive, so it'll cover the bottom side of a rock, even though it's fully shaded.
 
Mid to lower tank. Attach to a nice irregular rock surface that they can grow over and look awesome. Not a particularly fast grower, at least in my experience, nothing like as fast as montiporas for example.
