Hi KJ, Mine gets 300 par under a 400w radium 20k halide. I recently switched to an all ATI T5 and par is about the same. Placement really depends on your nutrient level combined with lighting. Like any SPS, if you see fading then too much light, darkening - too little light etc.

Love me some ORA corals. Sorry I dont have any pics of my old colonies. I had Red Planet, Hawkins, Ponape, BOP, and green birdsnest ORA corals. I have been searching for a few of these.

If I had to guess I would say bellina, although the pic is fuzzy. I have bellina and it is blue with fluffy green polyps. Here's one of my mini colonies:

Here’s a better photo of mine... not sure if it’s the same
