Back in November I picked up a couple frags. One is BC Ponape Rainbow and the other is Rainbow Nasuta although I really am not sure which is which. Both are good growers with PE but have always had a pale but not really a bad pale appearance. They are both under LEDs getting between 250-300 par in their spot. The problem is one I don’t know which is which and two I can’t find any info or good pictures of what they are “supposed” to look like so I can’t tell if they are healthy or not looking good. Should I move them to lower light? Leave them be? Which is which? Pics are side shots followed by top down.

Looks good to me. Maybe it could handle a little more light if your other corals can too?
 
One of the reasons for concern is this is my first time going really heavy on SPS. These are the corals soon after placement.

they where both very green with purple tips. The more they grow the more the green is kind of working out. So I thought maybe I am lighting to much or nutrients are to low.
 
Yeah some of mine are the same. Sometimes there might be a lack of help here so just give it time or experiment with it. Lighting, flow, bugs, nutrients, stability and so on.
 
hi they look good and healthy to me ,stability is key,happy reefing
