Hey guys, I got a montipora last week from my job and after placing it into my tank the color dulled out in the center. The rim still glow's but the center had turned to more of a dull purple-ish color. This has been going on for about a week and it hasn't been speading to the edges. Also the coral definitely had grown within the week so I don't think it should be too much of a concern. I just thought that I should post to be safe.
I was wondering is this normal to occur with newly added monti's? My guess is that it's adjusting to the different lighting.
Parameters:
pH: 8
Alk: 10
Salinity: 1.025
Calcium 400
Mag: 1450
NO3: ~10ppm
PO4: 0.1ppm
