Looks like Tri color valida

Looks like Tri color valida

Yup I have a bunch of that as well if anybody wants. I'm in SF.

Hey @popper I don’t know if I’m doing this wrong but my tri-color valida has become monocolor valida. Just like all my other acro it is now green. It’s encrusted quite a lot, just green

It could be a few different things or a combination causing them to turn green.

Some things to look into (I'd start with the first one and work your way down)

1. PAR is insufficient. Usually colorful acros need very high PAR (and flow) for to thrive and develop and or keep these beautiful colorations.
2. Nutrients issue (usually too high). When nutrients are in abundance, corals commonly lose their bright and colorful colors and just turn green or brown.
3. Your light spectrum might have too much white/greens. In most cases, very heavy blues and very little to no white/yellow, red, and green spectrum will help bring out better colors in corals.

I've been ramping my new light up from "very low" to a more reasonable amount to light acclimate, and have lowered my nutrients significantly. I will wait some months and cross my fingers then? I have some macros so I need a little whites, but I can lower that. Thank you for insight

It can take many months for them to color back up. Just keep all parameters stable and get in line to borrow a PAR meter as soon as you can.

I am in line for the meter
