How long have you had it?

I've seen many "rainbows" turn completely red after they've acclimated. I'm hoping that yours will keep its rainbow colors.

I’ve definitely seen that before I contribute that to almost like sps corals browning out from too much light or improper trace element dosing or just no dosing at all. I definitely believe you need to try hard to keep the colors just like you would on an sps tank :) I’ve seen pics of wild rainbows so they definitely have potential to keep that color under the right conditions wits it’s genetics :)

I can relate this to gold and orange hammer corals. I started dosing and the colors are coming back, slowly. But it's happening. I love your nem. I hope it stays breath takingly beautiful for you.

Do you have any pics with more "normal" lighting? Like 12-14K? Even your sand is blue.

You’re profile pic is great I also have a screaming short hair oriental Siamese at home :,) here is a pic under more white light I only have it like that at 12 noon for 30 min then goes back to more blue. I keep it mostly blue as it helps keep all the desired colors on the nems and corals :)
