The coral arrived healthy and has grown well in my tank. I placed it in a mid to low position with metal halide lighting, and it has developed a nice light green color. It’s stable and shows no signs of stress after a few weeks.

I was cautious with placement since the instructions mentioned different positions for different lights. I followed the metal halide guidance and it’s doing well. The branching is uniform and looks natural in the tank.
