Torch Coral seems brown

MarineDan · Jul 28, 2018

Hi,

Not sure if it’s just the fact it’s bright outside or not but my torch seems to have gone brown.. It’s opened fully and seems to be happy with the light and flow, water is fine as my Duncan is fully opened and growing new heads as is the rest of my coral.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you.

My guess would be natural daylight (always make things look brown/ugly, especially if lights aren't fully ramped on tank).

It's likely the daylight. Most of my euphyllias look brown when the sun is hitting them. When my hydras turn on you are able to see all their colors again.
