Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and moved it under that ledge yesterday. Hopefully it'll start to regain its color, I'm really looking forward to seeing that vibrant turquoise and orange again.

I'm looking for some advice on this coral - I picked up a small frag, about quarter-sized, from a local swap meet last week and it's currently on the bottom of my 20-gallon tank. There are about five orange eyes, but the color seems a bit dull overall. I'm used to seeing those vibrant turquoise and ...
