Well I bought a sweet looking chalice off Reefkoi awhile ago and the yellow rim is now changing green ?
Has this happened to a-lot of people before ? I really like the yellow rim :sad:
 
A new rim color could signal a growth spurt or you may need to change the lighting intensity, best thing is to find out where reef koi kept this chalice under what lights and adjust accordingly.
 
I will have to PM him :)
I think it's possible this chalice was collected recently and has not had the chance to obtain it's full color. I think the green rim is natural for this one not yellow :(
 
Sometimes it can take awhile for a wild collected coral to achieve its full potential. It could also be the lights like the others said.
 
I PM'ed him the lighting is way different. It's ok I will see what this turns into :nerd:
