Hey All -
Hope you are doing well. I have some blue stag that has developed some weird kinda glowing algae. I know its algae because other stags that were near it got a green tinge in spots. It is going away since i moved them. Has anyone ever heard of this? It’s been around for a long time and not killing any thing just weird. Params are all well within limits normal limits ?

Interesting; Hopefully someone is familiar with this situation.

This doesn’t look like a stag but Acropora sarmentosa rather. And it should be green, not blue. Perhaps I’m looking at it wrong? If it’s turning green from blue, this should be the way it should look.

Hey-
It’s def supposed to be blue at least it was for a few years and the colony was blue when it was fragged

Looks like normal pigmentation, probably light induced if it is going away after moving these corals.
