The red cap Monti I purchased a week ago has slowly grown to be lighter in color. It went from the usual red to a white/pink. This is my first SPS coral, and I'm not sure how the polyp extension should be, but it doesn't look very good... Here's some info.
Tank: 12 gallon LED Nano Cube with one strip of 4 blue LEDs added.
Filtration: Carbon, purigen, sponge, live rock rubble
Placement: half way between sand bed and waters surface.
Parameters:
Nitrate ~15 ppm
Calcium: 420
KH: 9dkh
What I dose:
1mL Red Sea Reef Energy per day
1mL Kent calcium per day
3-gallon WC per week, 5 if nitrates are above 30ppm
Pics don't really show accurate color, but here they are...
