How much light and flow for the Pink Lemonade? Just wanted to see where you have yours. Pictures would also be nice.

Mine is mid tank, lots of flow. Mine is turning slightly more green but I love it! It didn't do much for the first few months but within the last week it has sprouted of 3 branches and they are growing by the day.

I would move mine up if I could. It is on one of those huge ugly gray plugs and I just had to find a hole in the rocks to place it. I think it took some time to acclimate to everything and encrust some more but I am really excited to see it start taking off.

Mine is right at the top and loves it, I have one one the MH side of the show tank and the other on the T5HO side of the show tank, I am interested in seeing any differences.

Ryan is turning green like shades of fall? Really interested to see a picture if you have one.
Eric did it grow fast for you? I'm still waiting to see the polyps on my piece.

No, not that green. There is still quite a bit of yellow in it.
I can try to get a picture but with my crappy point and shoot things don't come out the greatest.

I believe that shades of fall and the Pink lemonaide is the same coral. Frags of the same coral went to two different stores adn they named it two different things. There is an article on it somewhere.
My pink Lemonaide is right in the middle of the tank with alot of flow. I run 6 T-5 bulbs and it grows like a weed and is nice and yellowish green with nice pink polyps.

They are two different corals. There is a nice write up about it on RC. Here is the link:

Deffinatly two different corals. I have both under the same light and you can clearly see a difference. My pink lemonade has a light green/ yellow base, then is yellow the rest of the way up. With bright pink/purple polyps, and brighter yellow tips. The shades of fall is darker, and has more purple polyps and a greener look with greener tips.

I agree, they are two different corals. I had several frags of PL in my tank in various locations, one of which was 6" away from my ATL shades of fall. The shades of fall is much more green and purple, where the PL is yellow and pink. The SOF is more or less a darker version of the PL. My PL loved being as high in the tank as possible. I think it was about 10" under the water under my 400w radiums and grew great.
