I recently installed a 250 Watt double-ended HQI light in my 150
gallon reef. I have noticed that quite a few of the Acropora frags that I have obtained are changing from their original color (yellow and purple) to a green fluorescent color. The new color doesnt look bad, but I am disappointed to lose the original coloring. All the frags I have obtained were grown under 400 watt MH, prior to being placed within 10 inches of my 250 watt HQI bulb. All frags appear to be extending polyps, and are exposed to intermittent current. Further I can see that the frags are growing at the bases. Does the color of Acropora frequently change, and will the original color return if the lighting matches the conditions it was originally grown under? |
