hey there - i have the same coral (meteor shower cyphastrea) from Atlantis. i picked it up in person and someone there gave me very bad advice -- to put it under high light... it grew, but it lost it's base color entirely and the polys started to go clear (not bleached looking - just pale - no pop).
i moved it half way down and it is better - color returning - but i think it really likes to be down low. granted, i'm running XM 10K's with actinics - so YMMV, but i would recommend starting it as low as possible and working upward only if needed. by the way -- i can see it grow day to day! beautiful. good luck!
