Hey @ReefSquad,

Over the last half a year, I have noticed my Jackpot losing the green hue from the skin, that we are all familiar with, with Jackpot.
Some colonies I have are showing a similar traits with thinking skin. Others, are no issue. I'd say it affects about 5-10% of the colonies i have.

Notable on Vivid Insanity, SKA Jackpot and pc Rainbow.

Poylps have good colour, same with poylp extension. But skin has faded to the purple hue.

-See attached most recent icp.
-Old photo showing the green on the skin.
-Current colony photo.

Are we just chaulking this up to a trace element? I'm currently using Fauna traces for doing. Seems the deplete fairly quickly. But that said, when I took the photo of the shown Jackpot frag, I wasn't dosing anything at that time.

Any thoughts?

I dose red sea ABCD trace weekly in-between monthly water changes. I found that adding some extra Zinc weekly has helped color in some of my acros
