Hi, I have currently had my tank now for about 6 months. For a while all I had in there was a peppermint shrimp and hermit crab. My parameters have been fine (salinity 1.025, PH 8.2, others in range) and a couple weeks ago I added clownfish. I was worried about adding anything but I was happy to see that they were doing amazing in my tank. So recently I finally decided to add coral. I got three in total. A Duncan, Candy Cane, and Frogspawn. I literally got them yesterday and when I woke up to look at them I noticed the frogspawn looked a bit clear. The Duncan and candy cane look ok but I just want to know if this is something I should worry about. I’ll post pics of them as well as my lighting settings. Btw my tank is a 10 gallon.

I would not recommend the Fluval. My corals are looking much better after switching to a Smatfarm. Nicrew also makes a good inexpensive light.
 
it does look clear, but I think its more because of the light spectrum, it looks healthy so I wouldn't worry. I think it would "pop" more under different light spectrum, but I don't know enough about lighting to advise.
 
I’m using a fluval sea marine Bluetooth nano light.
it's possible that light isn't powerful enough for that coral at that depth. hard to know for sure without a PAR meter.

Oooo thank you I’ll look into replacing.
