    i think it might take it some time to get its true color. when it came into the store it was washed out a bit and when I came back the next day had a bit more color. so hoping it will look great in a few days. I will take a pic then and you all can see.

    They enjoy stable water parameters and good flow. Not blasted from PH just good chaotic flow.

    Position it in a hi-waterflow area in the tank. Doing this moves all the nutrients in the water (which are scarce compared to the ocean) through around and passed it...... the only reason why i can think of to do this is because in the ocean they like to spend their time in crash-zones dicing up surfers ;)
