I've grown it all over the place.. Under pc's, t5ho's and mh's... I have a little tiny frag about 10" from my 250w 10k reeflux.. I have at the bottom of a 2x65wpc on a 20long as well.. All seem to be doing fine.. It seemed to grow more compact with the pc lights down a little lower.. When I placed it up high under the MH it grew slightly larger and thicker...
It seems to be very easy coral. Mine open doesn't matter where I put it. Super high light (400W) or on the bottom with 250W. High flow or no flow, it doesn't really care. Are you sure nothing eating it Eileen?
I had to place mine in my frag tank to get started. I have more blue light in there and more white in my main tank. I also have a Flame Angel who seemed to like them, so light might have been secondary.
If anyone looses their piece I might have another one... Shortly They are currently growing about 15" below a 250w 10k reeflux on an icecap e ballast..
Yikes...... I've been batttling these for many months now. They reach plague status quite quickly, or at least that has been my experience They came as a hitchiker!
