First corals under LED Help

[Naiad]

So I am probably paranoid... ok I am paranoid. It is likely too soon to even tell but does it look like the intensity around this coral is ok. I am so freaked that I am going to burn him [emoji33] . I just added it Thursday.

What light are you using and what is the percentage of each color channel? The picture isn't very bright, but that's not really a solid indication.

 

[Naiad]

It is the new halo pendant. I am not sure which percent of what is going. That is what confuses me. I can control the level of blue to white and brightness but it is just a turn knob so I get no reading.

Need to find out from what lighting it came from, if it came from LEDs or high wattage Halides, your in good shape.
As of right now, he looks pretty good to me.

 

[Naiad]

It came as a freebie from a aquaculture/mariculture company that mainly uses outdoor salt ponds so I am going to guess the sun.

I think you're OK, just keep an eye on it and acclimate it slowly

Euphyllia are very flexible.

Back in the day I grew colonies barley able to fit in a 200 gal salt bucket with the 400 watt 6.5K Iwasaki MH. This was about 4X the PAR of common LED Fixtures like the Radion or Hydra.

As long as its acclimated, it will appreciate the extra light.
