Rasta Issues

[pjb9166]

We are having a little problem with our Rasta's. My son got a six polyp frag at ffm. The only time they open. And as you can see they never really open up all the way.
Is during the time the actinic lights are on. So early in the day and again in the evening. Now his pink constellations not only open but he has two babies growing. Also purchased at ffm.
Can anyone give some advice. We did treat the Rasta frag with some hydrogen peroxide to kill off some algae that was growing between the polyps. A practice I do with all my Zoa's

Almost sounds like it doesn't like the amount of light(too much), or something is picking on it during the day. You remember who you got them from?

Some zoas can be sensitive to peroxide dips so I'd give it time. Make sure they have adequate flow as I see cyano building up. IME rastas are very hardy and fast growers and tolerated all types of light intensity from middle of the tank to the bottom under halides/T5

Well we got our Campfire Digi and Oregon Tort from you I'd like to say both are beautiful.

We got them from TJM Corals.

Ha ha.. Thanks for the advice. Believe it or not it's not cyano. I get that phenomenon when I take pictures with the glasses we got from Fragtober Fest in front of the camera lens of a crApple 5c.

Before you open the camera app (fully close it if it is open already), put the lens on and point the camera towards the light source. There is some color correction that is implemented on startup. Pointing towards a different light source will result in a different white balance. There are also some free apps that will let you color correct after taking the pictures. There is a free version of lightroom. I do not recall if the free version allows you to save presets that will make whitebalancing quicker for your lighting setup.
