Please help! Nem seems to be turning dark?

[Rossko]

I don’t know what’s going on! my nem seems be be turning a dark purplish color? All perimeters have been stable can post those later but headed to work now.. maybe my AP700 is too bright it’s at 80% from 12pm - 5pm. Has Anybody seen this or know what’s going on?

How long have u had it? Might just be adjusting zoo populations to new lighting. If so i like the purple look better...

Looks pretty good to me.

If it is a black widow it looks normal

I’ve had it about 3 weeks now, and the lfs had kessil lighting aswell

It’s a rainbow

Were they running the same schedule?

Tank light looks different from 1 pic to the other. That might be the problem.

I would love to have one like yours one day. Beautiful Nem

No I don’t think so

Give him some tme to adjust he might go back to his former brightness or shift over to the purple. But he looks really good and is happy!

That may just be his new color maybe just saying..

 

[reef lover]

I think yes with the current lighting thats where the zooanthelane is happy.

Are you using the same Kessils as the LFS? Maybe they're running 350 variants and not the AP700? Ask them what their intensity is set as well. Kessils are known to shift colors of anemones, particularly BTAs. Note though, that this isn't the only factor in determining color. Water quality may also play a part.

I kind of hope not lol
