It should in the immediate. It'll occur again when your colony branches out in that pattern again. Adding some T5 supplements should help with shadowing so you dont have to worry about the underneaths of your colonies dying as they grow larger.Thanks for the help guys! It has been at the top of my tank and I ran 2xRadion XR30 G4. I have pruned it like you said and made some new frags. Hopefully this will help
How long has that coral been in your tank?? Are your other sps doing good??
Its just the nature of the lights amd single point LEDs like Kessils too. You'll only see it when larger colonies start growing and shadowing their base. Metal halides and T5s throw light in a lot of directions due to the nature of the bulbs and the reflectors... So this issue is less apparent. If you want, try moving the colony down lower.It's been in there for about 8 months (approx) my other corals (SPS, LPS) seem to be doing fine. I'm really new to the hobby and I'm having a hard time with knowing the right place for the corals.

That's always the joy of doing some coral landscaping.I made my formal dining room my fish tank/office so I want to keep that clean look. I will look into that hybrid fixture you mentioned. I guess the plus side is I have a bunch of new frags now lol.
Yes that's it. That would be nice to help fill out the middle of your tank.https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/60-h...re-with-led-mounting-system-aquatic-life.html This is it?? I was thinking what about 1 XR15 between the 2 I have now?
Yes, I feel the middle isn't getting enough light.
I'd see about getting some PAR measurements first before you go adding any additional lights. We are very poor at judging the actual intensity of light, and what may seem like not enough may actually be getting more than enough especially for corals with low to medium light requirements. The last thing you want to do is spend a bunch of money on additional lighting for a small section, only to find that it was already getting plenty to begin with.
