Help with Bubblegum Digi Please

jimkyle74 · Jul 25, 2017

Question... I bought a Bubblegum Digi that was awesome looking at RapNY last month. Its been in my system for a month now. Went from LED at the show to my Radion G3 Pros running Ecotechs coral lab AB+ at 60%. Started it low and moved up to where it is now. (Note: its directly under the Radion but midway up the tank) Lost all its color in terms of the yellows blues and such. Red polyps are there just not extending at all. Params are N03: 5-10 P04: 0.03 to 0.04. (Fluctuates) Salinity 1.026 Alk 9-10 Cal 420 Mag 1300. I have it mid tank under medium flow. I'd appreciate any help. thanks. **Pictures for reference**

Do the polyps extend ever? I would wager a fish is sampling the goods.

May be the picture but I dont see polyp extension on either of those acros

The one in the back has PE the pink one extends like crazy at night.

Wonder what is happening at night. All of my sps have poly extension all day and night

Beats me... it's usually when I feed coral food though so maybe that's a part of it...

did you end up figuring out if it was light or something else?

I have 2 gen 3 pros on my 57 running the sps ab+ with a little more white. When I started to raise the intensity of my lights the only corals that ended up stning and eventually dying were my peach digitata, seasons greeting monti and setosa. Needless to say they didn't like the intensity of the lights at all, but every other acro I had in the tank had no issues with it.
