I'm worried it's too small to...

    Montipora Setosa lighting...

    I have just gotten a setosa at my local LFS, it is orangish and pink in white light. After around just over a week, it has begun to turn very slightly white, almost like a fine powdery pink look (was more orange than pink before). This color change is on the top half of the coral that is exposed...
