Just bought a frag of meteor shower and was wondering if you guys had any pointers for me or if there was anything I needed to know. I have it in a medium flowish area of my tank right now up towards the top under T5 10ks and actinics. Its doing great just wondering if there is any special care for them. Thanks

medium to strong indirect flow and low light.....typically in higher light, the green will become more pastel, red flowers will become pinkish orange rather than a deep red....I have mine down at the bottom of my tank in a shaded spot (t5 lighting).....in fact, it is spreading faster where it is more shaded than where there is more light. This coral is commonly mistaken by reefers as needing high amounts of light....keep it low and watch it spread and deepen in color.
Good luck!

I have mine at the bottom in med flow med light (pc) and I've had it for 6 months, it has grown from dime sized to 4 quarters sized. like 2 quarters side by side and 2 underneath,great growth!

Mine is in the bottom half of the tank with indirect light. Indirect lighting will keep the coral's pretty blue color. Vary high lighting will make it too pale IMO.
