I've had a few favias darkin up a bit. I pointed figures toward "not enuff par". interesting enuff, as soon as I raised the par in that area, it got it's vibrant color back. What I've also found is the shaded portion had ALOT better color to it. So I think it's a balancing act between light intensity.does anyone know the reasoning for dark coloration in favias? Nutrients are pretty low ( maybe a little to low actually)sitting in 70 par. One of my fascination favias almost turning completely black. One month ago and now..
I’m guessing that’s what it is. I have such a hard time keeping nutrients in my system. I just tested my water 0 phosphates and 0 nitrates... I think I need to “dirty” up the water a little. Although, I do feed reef roids 3 times a week....Has anyone ever dosed nitrate?My favia colony is at a PAR of ~60-140 (half of it is a bit underneath a rock overhang). Coloration (mostly blue-green with some purple) appears to be the same in all locations. I've noticed that when my NO3 becomes undetectable, the parts of the colony with the least PAR darken and turn almost completely (dull) purple. They color back up within a couple weeks once NO3 is back up.
