Reds disappearing from corals.

[weaponsofmassdesign]

I have a few corals that are losing certain colors they once had. One is a Xmas Favia where some of the red is in the eyes but most is gone and I have an Acan hillae that the red is gone and is all green now where it was red speckled with green before. Both are healthy, happy and growing so I'm not real concerned. I would like the reds to come back though. I have two Ecoxotic PAR30 Tricolor LED bulbs for lighting. Both are almost in full shade. Is there another placement I should consider or something else I should do?

Anybody?

the color lost is probably from them being in the shade too long. Try moving them out in the light and see.

I lost reds with LEDs. Once I went back to t5 within 2 days reds came back.

Cool. I was thinking it was the LEDs. I will eventually be moving them to my DT that has HQI and T5s. Thanks!

more light and the reds should come back.
