Okay, so I have this monti cap that I bought from the LFS. Under daylight, it’s got the coloration of a orange monti cap with bright red polyps(but appears to be coloring up differently). Under blues, as well as at the LFS under their LED, it’s a purple rim green cap with bright red polyps. Just curious if it has a name? First one I’ve seen with bright red polyps.
Apologies for the fine low quality pics of the iPhone 6s Plus lol This coral is up top at the back

It looks browned out. What’s your nitrate
I mean phosphate
Right now nitrate is running high between 25 and 50 and phosphate between .03 and .1 (salifert)

It was browned out at the LFS (salinity spike - no ATO for a week - one their only SPS to survive it). I’ve had it 3 weeks and the color is coming in slowly.
