This neon green sinularia frag has been in my 30g mixed reef for about 3 weeks now and I am noticing some color loss and some "browning". Is it a casue for concern? If so, any suggested corrections/care would be appreciated. 1st pick is from when I got the frag, 2nd is current state.

I had a green sinularia a long time and your second pic looks fine to me. Some corals, especially the softies will get a tinge of brown as more algaes form in their tissues for photosynthesis.

Thanks!I'll keep my eye on it, but worry a bit less!
