Tyree pink watermelon chalice

[Montrosereef]

Can anyone tell me it's placement? I have it under LED almost close to sand bed, medium flow. I am thinking moving it to low flow and less light.

I have mine under a frag rack on the sand bed. Mine likes low light. Almost shaded is what I'm finding.

You can see the shade of the frag rack here. :)

mine do best in the sand under a 250w mh, under the 120w led it washes allot of color. most of my chalices change or loose a ton of color under the led's

Mine look bleaching. I think it has too much light and flow, but it is almost on sand bed already.

This was my watermelon when I got it.

This was the next step

And about a month ago.

I put it in the shade for about three months. During this time it did not grow at all it just recouped. Recently the two eyes have gotten bigger and it has grown down the side of the plug.

Do a dip in coralRX and then put it in the shade and leave it for a while. It may help.

Here is mine. It is super bright under Mazarra LEDs and I just have it sitting on the sand bed. Tank is a normal 24" deep. Only four eyes on a big frag plug, but I don't target feed it at all.

I had mine sitting about 15" under LEDs. It grew to 14 eyes in a bit over a year and was very bright.
