I have a small favia frag that I got just to try out in my tank. It is putting out lots of feeder tentacles at night, which I think is a good sign, but its color is fading and its turning white. What does this mean? Too much light? I am not dosing anything in the tank (im in the process of setting up my doser) but I have multiple LPS and one other SPS and they do great. If anyone knows why it is turning white, I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!
 
Yep, too much light or change in lighting / intensity. Ie. moved from a led tank to halide. All of my Favias like very low light and get the best coloration under those conditions.
