I got a small hammer coral from my LFS and the tips were glowing blue at the LFS.

When I put it in my tank at home, the tips are not blue.

What light setting should I use to try to get the hammer to glow as it was in the LFS?

I have a Red Sea LED 90 as the light source.

I'm new to all of this. There is so much information out there that I'm having a hard time integrating all of it.

Thanks.
 
I run a lot of red sea lamps. Unfortunately, blue coral don't pop under them. You can try sliding around the levels in the app, but I have found it's about useless for blue
Well nuts. I’ll certainly mess around with it. I really wanted the blue coral. Live and learn.
 
Regularly things marketed as "blue" are just a colorless darkish brown that doesn't fluoresce at all and is being blasted at 100% blues 0% white at the store/for photos with contrast jacked up
