Does that seem ok...ie. just part of a phase?
Hard to get great photos....but you get the idea...green.

Mine is mostly red with yellow around the base. Radion G4 pro at 300 Par.

Thats what mine looked like when I put it in. Do you think there is a big difference between Radion G2 and G4? I run the AB+.

The G4 pros added Warm white and UV led's. I'm also running the Coral Labs AB+ slightly modified at the end of the day for more blues. I've had a few corals go green and slowly rebound in color. I would just keep things consistent and stable and give it some time.

How long has this frag been in your system?
It is normal for a frag to lose color or turn green/brown and color back up after some time. For me a couple months.

It's been about 6 weeks. That may be just it...went from t5s to my radions and natural saltwater too. Chemistry was pretty similar though.

@DancingShark...that's incouraging. What kind of lighting?

 

[DancingShark]

Black boxes.

This is what mine looks like under medium light. I have several colonies of this guy and I'm trying to sell everyone of them. Beautiful coral, but I'm tired of cutting it back. It grows too fast for me.
I have one colony in the sand and its all red orange and yellow.

Update. Here it is today. A year later.

Here is mine. I have it about 12" from the surface with around 500 PAR. I hope it doesn't change its colors. Looking forward to it taking off in the next couple of months.

Another red “stag” that’s not really a stag unless grown in low flow and low light. Then it might get long skinny branches. I wish people would use the term “bushy” acros for corals like this more often.

If that at 500 par it will be pure red in no time... keep this one at aprx 200-250 par it will have far better colors

I wouldn't mind pure red at all. I just don't want it going the other way and turn green.

Ahh I see, I personally like this coral lower but thats me. If its turning green its either in low light or stressed
