Ya my deep waters seem to like high light

They're simply adapted to not needing high light, but they still do well in high light. I find the colors pop better too.
I'd say, with few exceptions, any coral available in the trade will do well in high light once acclimatized to it.

Been trying to ID this one for a while. Closest I found was this frag Mad Jelly was selling a while back. They called it an Ice Fields Tenuis.

Tenius has a more closer growth pattern than the one I have so I don't think its tenius But then again I might be wrong.

I heard that some deep waters (like red dragon) gets pale color if kept in higher light but they like high blue light so my logic said high up in blue light = great color but high up in daylight = pale color. Is it? Also heard that bonsai should be kept in medium light for brighter colors. Placements always confuse me.
