Switching my light out for MH as soon as I build my canopy hopefully in the next week.

grizz i had a green for a year and a half it was the size of a softball when i sold it that person still has it today it grew bigtime for me...i also had a purple alot smaller but it stayed alive too i had that one for about a year.

i kept mine right out in the open they were getting lots of flow i kept them on rockwork and directly under a 250w halide 20000k.....i found if i cut the pumps they shriveled up bad or if i picked them up they didnt like that either..

i never spot fed in that tank minus some food for my zoas or fish so i doubt they were getting enough from that to survive....

i dont think these are one of those things that should be left in the ocean since alot of hobbysts are having success with them even if it is on a small scale.......if we gave up now then they all died for nothing.....i believe there is an answer to every problem

someone told me once that the reds are easier to keep alive
