Question.... when my lights are on (Kessil aw160) the green slimer looks bright green with polyps extending. When the lights are off and I shine a flash light in the tank, the “bumps” where the polyps come out are green, the body is brown. Is that normal? Should the whole thing be green all the time? Thanks in advance!
 
Normal :) I notice with my corals they look kind of "dull" after the lights go out. It's mainly the spectrum from your lighting that gives most of the body its "pop"
