Hi there!
I brought my montipora for a month now, 2 week ago they were fine, but now they seem darker color for no reason, the polyps turned white. But they still grow and develop their skeleton.

Do you know what lighting it was under before? Could be changing/adapting to the new lights. It does look like it’s growing which is good.

Just FYI, but this probably should have been posted in a separate forum like ‘General SPS Discussion’ instead of the Tank Emergency since these are reserved for more severe situations (crashes, leaks, explosions, child-peed-in-my-tank, etc) :)

White around the rim indicates new growth. The color change to "orange" is something to watch.
