IMO your nutrient levels are too low, the np depletion rate between feedings is very high. This is shown by the polyp size of sps in your tank. For me, Tenuis consume quite a lot of nutrients, in my tank whenever P is lower than 0.05, my Tenuis become noticeably lighter in color.Alk 8.4
Po4 0.03
No3 less than 5
Cal 480
Mg 1520
I use kalk

Big ish skimmer
And 3 different wavemakers in a 55g
Lighting is about 65% max strength, and ramps up and down for hours for a total of 15 hours
This is my cherry bomb. I have 2. 10ppm nitrates point one phosphates. 350 par with moderate flow.
Those still look like frags. Give them a chance. There is no chance that that coral is nitrogen or phosphorous starved. You can see the other things on the rocks growing.
I would look at stability first, then light. Parameters last - the parameters all look fine.
Nobody wants to hear this, but are you 100% sure that those are real-deal named pieces? We have all seen too many people chase colors that never come from knock-off corals that are just never going to look good. Did you get them from a super-reliable source with lineage? If so, then cool, but it is worth asking.
dsuny lights with a separate blue led bar. on my 2nd tank im using noopsyches.What are you using for lights?
oh yes, i have a potassium kit handy too. ill double check shortlyCheck your iron and potassium There is a presentation that talks about the elements and what color they affect.
Here's the lady in pink.dsuny lights with a separate blue led bar. on my 2nd tank im using noopsyches.
i did frag 1 of 2 sticks of the cherrybomb and put it in my other tank, to see what difference lighting and setup will play. the other tank ( noopsyche tank ) is stable 5 no3 .01 po4 always, and all acros are growing fast, schedule is only 8 hours vs the 15 hours on dsuny tank.
im also going to try to get my lady in pink in there too, jackpot and supreme are too small though
