Encrusting monti color loss?

[19Mateo83]

I received some corals today that arrived fairly cold. After temperature acclimation and drip acclimation I coral rx dipped at recommended strength for 5 minutes. The color looked a little off going into the dip but after the dip, most if not all of the green color disappeared. One is a reverse sunset Monti and the other was a chilli pepper Monti. They both were supposed to have a bright green base color. Is this something that happens with montis and they will eventually recover? Or are these more than likely gonners? The rev. Sunset still has bright red polyp extension and the chilli p. Still has some small bits of its green base color left. I’m hoping that they can make a recovery. Anyone had this happen to them before?

I have had similar reaction with other coral types (I.e torches, acros, and Zoas). Typically due to the stress of travel and the shock of the dip, they may be a bit stressed.

I would give them about 24 hrs to recover. You may see some more color by then. Remember be patient, let them aclimate to flow and light. Little by little they shall open up.

@lelolai15 ,I have them in an area with decent flow and have my light set on a 5 day acclimation cycle. That’s about the best I can do for them.

You stressed them out on top of shipping stress. Color loss can be expected.
