Hope this doesnt happen to all my Aussies

In a couple of weeks it has gone from this

to this

The nice green and orange is all red now. Hopefully it is just getting used to my lights and will get that nice color back.

If these are wild from the oceans of Australia, I doubt it. Australia has one of the hottest climates as well as one of the thinnest ozone layers. What lighting do you have on your tank?
Thats why I am waiting to see what happens with this aussie invasion.

Sorry to say, but I doubt it will get it's color back. Most of my morphs have either kept their color or have gotten better. I have only one that took a turn for the worst. Got this one in June and it has lost all of the green.

awwww, that sucks

I have a tek t5. The rest seem to be keeping their color. But this one was my fav.

I went from mh to tek back to mh. I have done the test and you cannot beat mh's. If you put that baby under some halides I bet it will look beautiful! I will never go back to t-5's after seeing all my corals fade out.

Are they all losing their colors, or is that the same frag at different angles?

Also, tell us your parameters... How close to the T5's they are and everything else you know... Maybe someone can help you identify what could be wrong.

 

[THE BEAUT]

I have always felt like the T5s are too bright. I am going to cut back to 4 bulbs for a while and see what happens.

 

[IBMGeek]

What bulbs are you using in the T5's and how many?

 

[I-K@ndY]

awwww Marcel... hope mine stays like that .. how long before u see em change?

 

[MarvinsReef]

wow.. keep us posted if they do gain their colors back... I hope they do...

 

[143gadgets]

I have mine under MH if that matters. I do think that most of those look to have lost some color. What bulb combo are you running?
