    Default help with cyphastrea

    I have a cyphastrea (i believe it to be) that belongs to a friend. It is rapidly dieing. How much light do these require? I had it about mid tank (180 6x2x2) under my 150w MHs, seemed too much for it so I moved it to the bottom in a lower flow area to no avail. I think it is a goner. It is an LPS correct?

    I found this at vividaquariums.com

    Care Level: Easy in SPS tank!
    Lighting Requirements: Low- Metal Halides
    Water Flow: Moderate
    Aggressiveness: Peaceful
    Range: Indo-Pacific, Grown in California
    Family: Cyphastrea
    Water Conditions: 74-80° F; sg 1.023-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12

    I should be spot on, I just moved it to a little more light, near my brain. Hope it bounces back.

    Thanks
