Got this green stylo a couple weeks back, moved it up to its permanent spot a couple days ago. It hasn't colored up yet but you can see the green on the tips. Only my 3rd SPS, how do yall think it looks? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/15/bc8756d27c6192c1c1d012dc6392b4a7.jpg

Looks ok, will get even more PE after it lays down a solid base.

I would leave it there and see how it does. This is a reliant coral. Given good lighting and parameters it takes off as well.

Can you tell us more about your setup? Curious as to what you are using for lighting. I used a lot of light (400w 20K Radiums) so I kept my down low and it was happy.

Thanks, I increased the flow a little bit on the frag and I think its helping as well.

My setup is a 37 gal tall with 14000K Reef spectrum BML fixture. It sits on top of the tank probably 3.5 - 4 inches above the water. Top of Live rock in tank is about 14 - 15" under the light. This is where my birdsnest frag and stylo frag are located. Monti cap is about 3 inches lower in the tank. Reef octopus BH100 skimmer, currently running GFO in a bag through my HOB filter (massive algae issue earlier this month).
Your stylo looks awesome BTW. Hoping mine will get back to a color similar to yours!

I just picked one of these up too, mine looks like yours as well. I have it on the bottom for light acclimation but will move it to mid tank once it's ready.

That pic is awesome ReefBum, man I need a camera.

I had mine on the bottom for about 8 days I think, I would have left it longer but I was scared my snails were going to knock it over into the rocks... So far no bleaching or anything. I don't think my light is over powerful though. Really wanting to try some more Sps but really not certain if my setup would support more.
