When my blue lights are the only lights on the polyps are bright green... any advice on how to color it up other then lots of light and stable numbers? Would you recommend and coral food?

Stability, proper lighting and params, and the most important thing: time. It may appear to be colored up fully in 3 months but then continue to change for a year and with some luck you’ll get a very nicely colored piece :)

Perfect thank you again for your help... I just need to remind myself it takes a lot of time with sps... I will update if/when it colors up and hopefully it will be easier to identify
