A.cerealis?
I got this colony few days ago and just wonder if my 250w MH would be enough to keep nice blue coloration on the tips.
The colony is about 18-20" from the bulb. Here's a pic of it.

I have 250w Ushios on this tank. I moved the coral higher after first week and hope that after I move it into final spot,it will keep the yellow with the blue tips
 I can't capture its true color for the life of me.

Thank you,Minh
I'm keeping my fingers and my toes crossed. FWIW,I did lowered my canopy about three inches and turned my bulbs perpendicular in hopes to get a better coverage. I'll update if I see any changes in color.

That's a beauty ... Will be interested in the coloration of this piece after a few months. Keep me posted.

I'll update if there is any changes, so far I noticed a little more of the yellow in the branches but the tips that were blue are still the same. Too early to say ofcource,but I had no luck in keeping the bright tips on the corals
