Blue coral placement?

[dphins]

I was wonding where you think blue colored corals should be placed? Are they high light corals or low light? For example, I have a blue tort, should it be high or low in my tank? I thought, the lighter the color, the more light it needs?

[esotsm1]

it all depends on the coral. cali torts do well in both high and low- lower if you want more blue, higher if you want purple/green

Darn, I have 3 blue corals up higher in my tank. I really can't move them any lower though, I don't have the room. They are holding their color so far.

I am having two blue corals in my tank.

This in at the upper section between my two halides. Absorbing intense lighting of both XM & Aquaconnect.



This is in the mide section



Also in between my two halides I thk both corals are fine although the upper level one gives me a slightly darker blue.

It could be my actinics playing tricks on my eye

Maybe when they are big enough to frag.

Ya Mike, its not workin' in your tank. Send it my way!

Intensity is only one factor in coloring up corals. If you want to turn or keep a coral a color then it has to get the right spectrum also. You can see this in a ORA tort. Those things seem to go from green to bright blue to purple. Check out this thread.

Or better yet, read a book, for goodness' sake! Much of what's on that thread is mishmash. The blind leading the ignorant!
