Green Montipora Digitata looking pale

[BertieBones]

Hello I have a green Montipora Digitata in my tank for 2 weeks now, it's fully open but looks very pale, What could be causing this, Coral was ordered online and has been like this since I put it in the tank

 

[rob s.]

what kinda lights is it under?

 

[BertieBones]

Hydra HD's It's quite high up in the tank

Moderate light and water flow is best for this coral
Also alk is not past 9, ph range 8.1-8.3 and temperature range 77-79

Once it has been moved to a lower light area, how long would it take to colour back up roughly

 

[SeaDweller]

It’s still new to your system. I see neon green towards the top. Give it time. To me it looks Gap khaki brown, not pale.
