I got my frag of the LE Green Jacketed Divaricata from Steve himself a couple months back and since then it has grown nicely. However, my mini colony's color is off and the graft has not really spread at all.
Here is a current picture of my mini colony, you can see the graft on the bottom right of the base.

My first question is, how do I get the color of the acropora to be blue/purple like it is suppose to be, rather than the pastelish green that mine currently is? I am thinking the cause is its close proximity to my t5's, which is why I am going to replace one of my bulbs with an actinic.
My second question is, how can I speed up the graft on the coral?
