Title says it all. Is that ok, is it not getting enough light, too much? Anyone have experience with this and solve it?
 
If your other parameters are good, yea possibly too much light

The heads at the top of my colony are def a lighter green than the ones at the bottom.
 
When nitrate is zero this often happens. Euphyllias color much better if the nitrate goes over 1 mg/l.
 
Would something like target feeding reef chili help?
 
Here are my tank parameters

PH Display Tank: 7.9
PH Refugium: 7.99 (I have two different PH meters)
Nitrate: Less < 1
Salinity: 1.026
Alkalnity: 9.6
Calcium: 445
Magnesium: 1350
Ammonia: 0
Phosphate: 0
 
I would add some nitrate. Stump remover will function. There are threads here on R2R.
Too much light will make them lighter in the color but hardly glassy.
 
Do you have a thread to reference about adding stump remover. I never heard of that.
