I just got my first acro and it's a red planet :)
Thats a red planet frag direct off this colony, its amazing how different colors corals can get under different intensity lighting

Yeah the red planet is an amazing acro in so many ways. Table and branching, light forgiving are huge factors. I'm blasting mine with flow high up in the tank and it's already losing the intense green and getting more red.
 
I would rather promote growth rate now as a small frag. As it gets larger it will shade itself and get green naturally again. Right?

Theres nothing like a nice red.table man, always a show stopper in everyones tank. Plus the red planet is purely aquacultured ontop of that extremelty hardy.
 
Absolutely, all throught my colony on shaded areas are green

Heres my jason fox altered ego looks very drab under daylights, but glows pretty nice with a mix of color under LED

Color loss -- its a problem the majority face with this monti, anyone have any care requirments for that other then light intensity lmk
 
Im having similar issues with my montis.
I WISH! SOMEONE WOULD JUST CRACK THE CODE ALREADY!. its a reoccuring problem with everyone, including the "burn" spots and colors. Its like half the people are having amazing results and the other half arent.
