So i picked up a frag of a blue polyed birdsnest, at first it was deep orange branches with blue polyps. But now its covered in white polys, with cyan blue tips, but you can still kindof see the orange branch underneath? Il post before and after picture, is this due to too much light? it came out of a frag tank under MH, but in my tank its sitting under cree led's, its growing fast and all i just wonder why it lost those great looking blue polyps and gained all these white ones? If that makes sense!

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
Sure can. Lighting, water parameters and all sorts of other things will affect coral coloration.
 
Looks good. Things look differently under different lights
 
Like others said, it looks very healthy. It has an interesting coloration too. That's not a color pattern I've seen on a birdsnest before.
