Rainbow tenuis all green

[Reef-_-Noob]

Bought this tenuis a while back at a frag swap. It had rainbow colors when I got it but now it is all green. Anybody know how to get the other colors showing?

Same with my acros usually. They always green and brown out since its a safe. Once they adapt they start coloring up again

Depends on light and parameters.

Sometimes they will completely lose colour when in a new tank, and take 6+ months to colour back up.

More light

More light

I have 2 ai prime 16 I'm looking to get more light. Running a 31 gallon tidewater AIO. Is spectrum more important or more cool whites or blast it with more blues from another light??

More blue light wont help. You need the warmer end of the spectrum to bring out colors.

I think you need a par meter to test that. I started with AI Primes and they're best for LPS and soft corals but terrible for SPS. I switch to a Hydra 32 with some success before moving on to T5 hybrid with radion xr30 blues.
