Sps lost color

[bige]

My four Sps have lost their color but still have good polyp extension. I have a biocobe 29 with LEDs. Not dosing anything. Calcium at 420 and no measurable phosphate or nitrate.

One of my acans did the same thing. BC29 w Ecoxotic panorama pros. Someone said the LEDs might be too much.

What color were they? Any pictures?

From my experience, the panoramas made all of my rics and acans turn green, no matter what color they were. I now have a kessil and their colors returned back and better than ever.

When I first got it. Excuse the dirty glass.

Current. The two were always side by side. I just moved them under a frag rack to cut down on the light. Thanks.

Bummer. For me at least.

The left one is an orange acan so I assume thus the correct color.

The higher in the tank you put acans the more red they will be. I got some solid red ones and put them on the bottom of my tank. They turned orange with white stripes. It made them look a lot better.

what kind of lighting do you have? i have read they like less lighting. they were on my sand bed. i put them under the dirty frag rack they are sitting on in the second picture to cut down on the par.
