I've both the encrusting and branching cyphastria variants and both seem to do better under indirect light and low/medium flow. In other words, treat them like LPS. Unfortunately, from what I've read about them and IME both are also relatively slow growers.

As I figured, I am just impatient

I will try moving it lower to indirect light, and less flow. It is under 39W-HO X 6

I have the boulder form. Mine is Green with red polyps. I kept mine at the bottom of my tank under 400 watt MH. It was very pale. I slowly moved it up to mid water and, what a colour change! Now it is one of my favorites.
Still it seems very slow growing. Yours seems to be a different colour than mine. If you are ever interested in trading frags let me know.
Keith.
