I'm sorry if the pictures are huge I'm on my phone and can't edit them. Also sorry about the crappy quality.

So I've had this favia for about 2 weeks and it was a slightly darker red color. Like the red growth on the plug.

I have it about halfway down the tank unshaded. I feed it twice a week with coral frenzy. My led's are typical full spectrum black boxes. About 6 inches off the water running them 75%blue 25% full spectrum. I also have two banks of 24 royal blue led's without lenses running 100%. 120 gallon tank.

I have other lps all in that same level in the tank and they are all doing amazing. Blasto, torch and a galaxy love their position in the tank. Actually the blasto is a little higher and has allready grown 4 small heads.
