Typically deep waters seem to prefer lower light, I keep them in about the amount of light I give Montis.

Some people really like lighter coloration though and they will place them up higher.

I keep my Lokani, Dragons, Echinata, Granulosa, Rosaria, etc. up to about 350 PAR under MH... which is about 400 with LEDs since they have more blue, purple and IR that the PAR meters don't catch. They can do quite well down to 200.

What is amazing is that CITR Red Dragon will thrive in a frag tank under 800 PAR and also do OK at 200 with less growth.

The deepwaters don't get as much love as some kinds, but they are amazing corals wit some of the best colors.

markalot · 09/20/2017, 08:24 PM

We need some updated pics, I love the smooth skin / deep water acros.

~320 PAR mix LED and T5's.

All of these are at the 250 par range under Blue+ and Coral+ T5. I get good growth and color.

Don't know about the growth, but this is not good color. You have incredibly vivid and bright colors!

Piper27 · 09/21/2017, 09:57 AM

Big e what is the second to last picture? The golden green with pink tips? That is insane, awesome growth form, where did you pic it up at?

That's Acropora Caroliniana .. but the queen of the collection is that Battle Corals The Joker .. I don't know if anyone who has it including Adam who lost the mother colony .
Big E's ice fire Echinata , joker and RMF gecko are top of my list to buy someday .

Thanks, pm me, I want to show you some pics of those corals we swapped.
I think I lost your email.

Piper27 · 09/22/2017, 06:21 AM

The joker is nice but purple and green are somewhat common colors, the growth form is different though, anyone know what species that is? The caroliniana I have never seen with pink tips and the body color is a little different too. Very cool!

abhishek@1985 · 09/22/2017, 07:38 AM

I might be completely wrong but it looked to me like acropora simplex .
Ed might know it better than me .

Abhishek

The joker colors are intense and it sticks out in a display............being a deepwater along with it's growth pattern makes it unique.

Here is the Battle Coral money shot--

joker by Big E 52, on Flickr

I need to take a better picture of my colony as the pic I posted is at a weird angle from above.

-------------------------------------------------

The Yellow Caroliniana isn't hard to find, just look for the yellowish coloration that extends throughout the whole coral and that branch/coralite structure. I wouldn't focus on those tips as that's a macro shot color that you can't really notice unless your right on top of the coral.

Piper27 · 09/23/2017, 06:47 AM

Thanks big e I have yet to grow one of those out and o ly seen them in friends tanks.

Led reef, I wouldn't say tenuis are deepwater sps really, but that's a nice maricultured piece!
