BC Rainbows in Spain not coloring up

[dank reefer]

Little update:
So far it appears to be spreading out on the plug but colors still aren’t there. The purple tips are coming in but the green base is not there yet. I did some par measurements with my PMK and it’s sitting at about 270par.

What lights are you using?

I basically gave up on this coral in my tank since it was all brown and zero of the expected color. Left it alone expecting a neighboring coral to take it over/encrust/or just kill my brown sticks. And then one day it started coloring up again. It went from brown to bright green and purple tips over a period of 4-6 weeks. What did I do differently? tank upgraded complete during that period complete with water and temp swings over the place during the move..all of which should have killed it.. answer: I have no idea. Don't give up on it. Beautiful piece that came back from the dead.

Update. Still hasn’t colored up much but has definitely grown. On the right is a Blueberry Limeaide in slightly less par has colored nicely no issues.
