How much light is enough light to keep my green star alive.

[paulrathor92]

My tanks fairly new and don't want to risk an algae bloom. So how long can I have my light on just enough to keep the green star healthy?

As much as i hate to say it, if light were a concern, i would not yet have added a star although not light dependent.
You can run blue 10-12 hrs and white 5-7 hrs

To keep coral alive minimum imo is 8 hours. But I have always run lights sunrise to sunset ramping up and down of course.

Is this a serpent star?
