i have a 55 gallon with LED's i have noticied that when the blue actenic are on all the corals look nice, but when the other lights com on some of my corals do not look that good, the ones i notice that dont look that good are the GSP, it looks browish, and the Zoa you cant see the colors in the middle of the zoa and i have a pink acan and when the lights are on they r like a redish brown.

please help
 
yes it is adjustable......and it is the MARS lights 65 watts

65 Watt Chinese fixture depending on optics and LEDs are a bit on the weak side for corals...Unless your tank is 12"x12"

SPS like 300+ PAR over that they develop pigments that make them look better.

They best with a gradual increase and decrease that simulates normal sunlight at depth.

Softies and Some LPS do well while fed with a deeper light simulation.
