Hi

I'm new to the salty side and have a question regarding the lighting for these corals I just purchased. I have one hydra 56 at the moment and going to be getting another in the next month or so. I'm not to sure what I need to watch for on the corals to tell if they are getting bleached, no getting enough or too much light. Also my light is not suspended as I have an enclosed lid.
Here's the settings I copied from zibby I think.

the hydra is fine for those.

Just FYI those brown polyps and that green star polyp will overtake everything else.

GSP is super easy to maintain as long as you are not lazy. Clipping corals comes with owning corals. GSP looks great and can be easily removed from rocks.
