Have had this for about a month. It seems like it has new structure being built in the middle but it's looking lighter than the rest.

Coral is mid level in tank. Under 2 hydra 26s.

Should I lower?

Parameters:
Alk 8.7,
Calcium 430.
Temp 78
Nitrate 2ppm
Phos .02
Ph 8.2
Mag 1300
 
Leptoseris likes lower light. I keep some of mine under a ledge and they’re thriving.

As they grow, the new growth will differ slightly in color from the established tissue and will color up over time. But, depending upon on the par I would consider moving to lower light.

In higher light it gets lighter. It will get used to any light.
Mine is in 350ish par.
