I have a couple torches (green and purple) in my 32g tank using Fluval 3.0 marine light. They are placed in lower part of the tank and seem to be healthy. During the day they open up and get huge but loose their color and look tan/brown. At night when they retract, they gain their color back b/c their tentacles are closer together. Is this normal? Are they not getting enough light?
 
hi,the more they stretch the color will fade a little,closed bright is normal, can you post pics,let us see open and poss closed pics?
