I just picked up a nice size bright green Favia yesterday. I have read that the brighter green favias can be place higher in the tank, and the more subdued colored ones need to be lower and shaded.
Anyway, I placed mine pretty high, but I just want to make sure that is okay. I'd hate for mine to start bleaching or something.
I also picked up another piece of Favia yesterday as well, and I am a little nervous that it didn't handle the shipping process too well. According to the pictures when purchase, it was pretty bright green, but when I recieved it, it was a light greyish blue color. I realize that different lights will show different colors, but this is pretty drastic. Is this normal, and will the color return? I placed this one near the bottom, but not really shaded.
I will try to get some pictures posted later today so you all can see what I'm talking about.
I'm running a 75 gallon tank with 4x54 watt T5 lights. It's been up and running for 6 months now, and everthing else (Corals and Fish) in my tank seem to be doing well.
