I have a nice sized colony of meteor shower cyphastrea for about 3 months now. All corals in the tank are growing great.
When we first brought it home, the polyps were open all the time and it would feed on things that would get caught in its polyps. After about the first week, the polyps stopped coming out. Color is good and nothing is stinging it.
It's placed on the bottom of the tank in an area that I thought was pretty low light considering the rest of the tank.
Should I try placing it in an even more shaded area of the tank? I have places like that, but I certainly don't want to snuff it out.
What kind of PAR does everyone keep theirs at and have the polyps open?
Thanks!
