Need help identifying an SPS Coral

[James Tucker]

Need help identifying an SPS Coral. Out of more than a dozen others, this is the only SPS coral in my tank not growing like a weed.

I tried 7 months at 225 par, and its been at 150par for the past 3 months. I also tried high flow and normal medium flow at both par levels (let it sit at 1+months at each). It has basically not grown or shrank in any scenario, and no color change either. It has looked pale since I got it.

I'd like to identify it before I move it again since I don't know if it wants less or more light/flow, if I'm missing something else, or if it's just a ridiculously slow grower.

Thanks!
James

Cyphastrea

Thank you!

Yup. I would definetely start it out at least much lower in par. They can adjust to higher par, but seem to thrive at low to moderate light.

When they take off they are unstoppable killers lol, low light and the polyps will come all the way out, out of the three types I have this one adjusted to high par the quickest

Thank you! I just watched a Tidal Gardens' video on it. To the lower par location it goes!
