Im new to LPS and bought a great red Lobo. It's extending it's tentacles at night and low light, especially early in the am. The bright red is starting to fade. I have it on the bottom in open water, fairly good flow and light ~432 watts (90 gal) T-5's.

How to I bring it back to the deep red color?

Red lobos usually need less light, mine is under PCs and kept it's color fine so maybe try shading it a little.
