Is this normal?

[fowler279]

I have noticed over the last few weeks that the skeleton of my Hammer is gradually turning white. The polyps look great but the base is turning. Not sure if this is normal or not. When i received it, the base was brown and pink. Now the pink has mostly turned white. Its placement is about the top of the bottom 1/3 of the tank. All parameters look ok to me. Any ideas? Thanks

keep an eye on it could be stress of the move and different parameters from the stores tank to yours.

Ive had it for almost a month now. Could it still be stress?

Yea i know. Normally it is. Not sure if i screwed up this last test or not.

Thats what i thought at first. It is growing has gotten a lot fuller. Just worried me that all the pink that was there in the beginning has receded and changed to white

Good to know. Still new at this and getting the hang of everything. Figured it was just worrying about nothing but wanted to be safe. Thanks
