Stylophora and SPS acclimation

[OrthoVet05]

Hello R2R!

I recently got a stylo frag from the LFS this past Sunday and was wondering about lighting and water recommendations. I have it nearish the bottom of my tank and about 60-80% of the polyps are fully extended.

I was wondering if I should just leave the guy here for a few weeks or move him higher up in the DT. Also... i have historically dosed Randy’s two Part more sporadically since I just have a few LPS in the tank. Should I try and change my parameters? I know I should keep nitrates 0-5 for nutrients and phos at 0 ideally.

I am trying to stay patient with this guy. Been dosing benepets reef food and nitrates.

Current parameters
S.G. 1.026
Phos 0.25
Nitrates 10 ppm
DkH 10
Ca 400
pH 8.3

I greatly appreciate the input.

leave it alone. Looks good. Some nice random flow would benefit it.

Agreed.
That stylo will take a lot of different amounts of light.
If you like where it is , there may not be any reason to move it.

Thanks. I figured that may be the best answer. Just an SPS nube here haha
