I got a maricultured piece about a month ago and it came with a nice purple colouration. However, as of now, the body and base has turned brownish purple and only the tips retain its bright purple colour. Its yellow polyps are still out and the coral is healthy with good encrustation and some slow growth (mostly it's growth on the tips).
I had it about midway up my tank's rockwork which is around 15 inches from the water surface (my tank is 24 inches tall with 8 T5 bulbs suspended about 4 inches from the water). I have recently relocated it close to the bottom of the tank on the premise that it might prefer less intense lighting.
Is it true that purple bonsais are less light-loving?
