Purple Stylo colour

e34stx · May 3, 2024

Hi Guy's,
i recently purchased a Milka which for some reason has started to turn green. My recent ICP's are pretty bang on. im currently fighting Dinos so my nutrients and silicates are up. i have also not put it lower in the tank incase it was getting too much light. has anyone experienced this?
thanks

The conditions at which it was grown may vary from yours. Pictures may help. What other corals do you have in your tank.

Yes, that was determined in your OP.
Pictures?
Results from tests?

My OG reply thinks it's not enough light. What's your par? Nutrients?
Need a lot of info other than "ICP is good, nutrients are good".

I can say for sure that it's green cuz something isn't right. That gives you just as much info as your post.

We just need more....

Sure, no3 is currently 8, po4 is 0.08. Par is around 250 all pretty much normal. Icp came back with slightly elevated tin. Silicates are around 2000 as I have small outbreak of dinos. They have advised I dose fluoride as it’s slightly low. Coral gets a decent amount of flow. I can post a photo later.

Weird! Looks more like a poccilipora than a stylo.. my people stylo grows like a weed but it’s under Halides and getting blasted! Dark purple and fluffy.. I actually need to chop it and move it!
