Been looking into getting some beautiful rainbow acros but am worried about them losing their colors. Any tips that have worked for you? Thanks!

Hello everyone , I have this monti sitting at around 200-250 par and when I first got it it was one color , now it’s starting to get these dark blue streaks in it and I can also see a pink rim in person Does anyone know which monti this is ? Got it at RAP but forgot to ask the name (it was an...

So I have a few bristle worms in my tank.. however in this video it seems that it has a green or greenish blue shimmer to the top of it. Is this just from the lights or the shimmer of the water? Just curious if anyone knows?

A car accident last October led to some poor husbandry for half a year. I couldn't do water changes and driving to pick up consumables was difficult. I've recovered a substantial amount and the acro & monti colonies I have left are starting to colour back up now that I have things under better...

I know a lot of people love SPS corals, and they are great. But I love LPS corals. They provide so much movement and color in a reef tank and are so diverse. I love their sweeping tentacles and large polyps. I love watching euphyllia heads split. I love their feeding responses. Which is your...

Hi Everyone, I've attempted to see if there were any previous threads on this topic but found no luck. Curious to learn more about color maturation in corals as they grow. We hear about corals losing color due to light intensity and what not, but I want to go a different route and see what...

I've had this flame angelfish for at least 8 months now and its color has faded a lot. It is a washed out orange now. My last one was with me for 4 years and went through the same thing. It also has been getting what I can only describe as "peppering" - a term used in the fresh water side with...

I’ve noticed that new polyps from different zoanthids are a lot less colorful then their “mother” polyps. What could the cause be? salinity: 1.026 Temp: 26.5 C ( 78.8 F) Nitrate: ~7 Phosphate: 0.04 Alk: 7 Calcium: 420 Magnesium: 1280 Par: between 75-150

Hey Everyone, Having a bit of an issue with my first Acro frag that is puzzling me. I was sold this frag about 1.5 months ago as Bali Green Slimmer. You can see the picture from when it first went in the tank. I've also provided some up to date images from today as well as a quick video. The...

My corals lose colors in a matter of days and some take weeks or just look pale, I’ve searched through everything and nothing helped.please help if you can!!!! I’m currently using all for reef and dosing iod by tropic marine, and use tropic marine pro salt. I have one radion g4 and two ai prime...

I am finally back in the hobby and starting off hard with a nano sps tank. The tank is doing great so far. I had two test corals in it (green digi an acan) both have grown very well over the last 8 months or so. I bought a few new sps frags from wwc that are all on the easier spectrum...

Hey Everyone, I'm getting an Envergrow soon and I'm looking for a good program for a full sps tank My aquarium is 150cm X 40cmX 60cm (50cm of watter) Thank you in advance

Hi! I am searching a tip or secret to get a pastel colours in my acroporas. I ask to other people and only say to me low no3 and po4. My parameters Po4 0.001 (hanna phosforus url) no3 0.4 (hanna nitratus lr)

Could this be caused by low calcium? I'm not sure but I've posted another thread that had my parameters and they said that my calcium and magnesium was a little low but I should be fine for what I have in the tank. These were Fridays readings. Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0 - 0.01ppm Nitrate 3.5ppm...

Hi, i wanna make an custom led hpl no dimmer, when on all light is turned on, i wanna ask about the colors, which is better? A or B from the pictures below, thankas before

Hypothetically if you were Australian and you were struggling for months to find a distributor in your country to purchase a specific Nudibranch you have researched in depth, and it is illegal to import pretty much all marine animals in Australia without a license. And you didn't want a license...

Hello! Ive been running my 14 gallon Nuvo for about 4 months now and have had good success so far. My tank consists of mainly zooas and euphyllia and uses a Radion xr15 4th gen. Ive noticed the color in the euphyllia (mainly the frogspawn) has not been as clear as I have seen in others tanks of...

Hi there! Picked up these zoas a week or two ago, they opened up right away when putting them in my tank and they’ve seemed to have been doing fine, I noticed today they’re dulling out. They used to be a bright green around the edges the largest head still has some trace of the original colors...

I live in an apartment in a city and manager lady told me I could only have a small fish tank... I think she meant something more like a 2 gal betta tank... *awkward laugh* Anyways, after a lot of research online I decided to go with a Fluval Evo 13.5 tank. There was a lot of debate in my head...

Just curious is anyone else has seen this or can shed some light on it. A while back I picked up an atlantic blue tang that was going through transition (blue body, yellow tail). While in qt the tang reverted back to its juvenile colors and has shown no sign of transitioning. Fish is healthy no...

Hi there, I am a researcher, and I need to know why do the color of fish change when they die? What are some of the scientific reasons? Thanks.
