While i don't have forest fire, I do have an orange and a green digi.
I'm running 6 bulb T5's, 4 blue+, 1 purple+, 1 coral+.
Grew the orange from a 2" frag.
I have it as high as I can, and it still reaches for the light.
The green seemed to like mid tank level best.
Post a picture of yours.
Has it browned out or bleached?
If it's browned out, you've got water quality issues.
I doubt it's bleached.
What are your ca, kg & mg?
How old are your bulbs?

Not bleeched , not brown. I maybe I'll try putting it higher in tank. It does have white tips and does grow... just very very slowly

Mine prefers lower, bluer light. White light fades the green.

+1... I had to move mine down in the tank because it was losing color. Should only move a coral up in the tank when it starts to brown up. Moving it up could cause it to bleach or worse RTN
