Picked this up from a local reefer quite a while ago. Under high light, 220ish par the tissue was orange. I since moved it to my frump which has roughly 95ish par and the tissue has changed from orange to more rainbow... any idea what it might be and why the coloration would be better under thst much

The second pic is an older pic when it was in the display tank. It started killing the duncan and growing over my leng sy cap so it came out. Also, the hole is where the frag plug was when I first got it.

Not sure which monti it is but some, like the setosa will change colors under lower light. Also, the color spectrum looks different so that could change things some outside of the par.

The spectrum is probably different. But in the pics one is just under daylight and other is night. But the display light is ai hydra, vs sump which is a fluval nano marine. But that’s good to know!
