[CoralCache]

Mine has started to show blue tips several times and then something happens to the tank and the tips are lost.

Adam, were you able to maintain the blue?

After the move there was a definitely slump and subsequent recovery period, but I am seeing the blue again now for sure. Seems way more prominent in colonies under leds for me. Still not exactly sure what the recipe is but w hen all the coloration is realized in this one its such a remarkable acro! Thanks for reviving this thread

Makes me want to setup another frag tank and put leds on it to see what happens.

Adam, how high above water is the Photon? How far below surface was coral?

Outstanding! That looks really good! Mine have shown hints of blue that have wavered a little since move but I can see it wanting to come back for sure.

I think mine is starting to get the blue tips. I cut a frag off the one in my display and moved it to my tank with leds to see if that would make a difference.

Adam do you still think it's the leds that bring out the blue?

that's a beautiful piece Bubba! Mine went from all green, to start coloring up with the pinkish, and then it died on me. I love the rim on that!

Do you know what PAR this is under?

Do you know what PAR this is under?

I would say around 350-400, it is getting blasted with Blue LED's and high nutrients.

I can never give mine enough PAR to get blue tips for fear it would explode overnight and smother every other coral in the tank.
