I am not sure if it has been said yet, BUT, the Walt Disney is one of the worst SPS corals when it comes to color shifting. If it has been grown under T5's then it will be blue, if under LED's then green. I talked about this with several very respected vendors and they say that it IS the worse at color shifting. My Walt Disney had started to color shift from green to blue because I use a Hybrid setup.

Mine is basically green, but the new growth and tips are turning blue, I currently don't have a photo, a few months ago I went thru a Nitrite spike which harmed several of my SPS corals, surprisingly the Walt Disney didn't care, but as a result I haven't taken any recent pics. The reason I know about the color shift is that I went to a show and a vendor was selling blue SPS frags as Walt Disney's and I was a little skeptical. I mentioned it to LRO and that is when I was informed that the were they worst at color shifting. I have also been told by TSA and a few others that they do color shift. Then seeing it with my own eyes conformed it.

Is color shifting that uncommon? We can look at a SPS dominant tank and how often do we still see acans that were, once, rainbow colored. Then usually turn red in a SPS dominant tank due to the higher par.
