Backside SPS

[Swooshjvm]

Noticed some of my sps have less coloring on backsides is this ok? Could it lead to something or should I move them. A couple are already glued down. I run a redsea90 on a 40 gallon tank.

Can you post a photo? Is the backside getting more or less light than the better colored sides?

I can buy have to pull it kinda hard to do but basically no PE on backsides rest full extension

If it's on the non to low lit side you're good. As my colonies grow the underside turns a flesh color and will go smooth with very little polyps. If it grows too dense and blocks flow that area will actually receed sometimes.

If it's well lit start looking at flow

The area of the sps that isnt getting light will do this. Example. under the sps

Can it cause any problems with it? Everything else looks good just wondering if the one side can affect rest of coral.
