Hi I have a dedicated bubble tip anemone tank. Some of my pink bubble tips are intense pink/orange and some are drab in color. All look happy. I had one that was yellow when I bought it, but it changed to the usual pink color. Now since that one did change dramatically, is it possible with feeding or light spectrum to improve their colors like my SPS ?
I use the kessil 360x heavy in the violet and blue. Thanks

it has to do with light intensity and color spectrum to color shift the nem. I have 4 chicago sunbursts under t5 Led hybrid lighting. I can change the color of my nems by changing out different t5 bulbs takes about a week for the color shift to happen. wen i put my nems close to the t5 lights in a nem box the colors get much brighter. I would say play around with your lights and see what happens.

I find better colors also with uv max, violet max, royal 85%, blue 65% and rest 4%
