Cyphastria

[Hilltopreef90]

I’ve never had cyphastria coral before and wanting others input on a good type to start with that has bright colors, grows well and doesn’t usually lose its original color
Some I’ve considered are:
Meteor shower, rainbow madness, bizarro, and jingle bells
I’m curious if these colors remain or are dependent on each person’s lighting

Meteor very popular and hardy

Picked up a meteor shower from LRO's last live sale, I'd say the colors are pretty much what was presented

Not looking too bad for enduring a 4 day blackout recently

The colors can change if nutrients are too high. In my experience cyphastrea are very intolerant of fluctuation in phosphates but are extremely hardy once they're established.

I have meteor shower and bizzaro. They both have the same coloration they did when I first got them. I prefer the color of the bizzaro, but the meteor shower has grown much, much quicker for me.
