I had believed that corals exhibiting orange through red fluorescence would be from deeper waters and hence require less light. See the graph - No sign of photosaturation at PAR of 500 and above. I have a lot to learn.

Interesting, mine grows faster in the shaded areas then the highly illuminated zones.
