I recently took the plunge and bought one of my dream corals, a banana grail torch coral. The specimen I got is quite nice, but I'm quite concerned that yellow color may shift green. Is there any trick to getting these guys to hold their nice yellow color?

For those of you who keep them, what par, nitrate, and phosphate do you recommend? Has anyone come across any guidance like "if they start to shift from yellow to green, give more/less light"?

I'm running g4 radion XR30pros on the LPS preset at about 130 par. The coral in the photo has been moved off the sandbed. Was only there during acclimation.
