Walt Disney odd question

[VanDalsenReef]

So I'm not nervous or worried about it but does anyone have experience or know why a Walt disney may go from more greenish to almost all yellow with the multicolored Coralites and such like a standard one?

This had been the same with the last waltdisney colony I had almost a year ago before I lost it to an alk spike of 16.7

I sadly do not.

It depends on mostly lighting intensity, spectrum, and n03/p04 levels, but can also be affected by stress from numerous things. In my opinion chasing colors isnt worth it unless the corals are noticeably suffering. If its growing and polyps are open id leave things alone. Trying to make one coral happy usually just ends up hurting others.

If you just want to see what others are doing, heres a collection of walt disneys and everyones levels for reference

Let’s compare Walt Disneys

Hey fellas. I’m interested in seeing Bree different colours everybody is pulling out of Walt disneys acropora. these pieces tend to change greatly from tank to tank, mine is mostly pulling yellows and traces of pinks and greens in the flesh. Picture posted below. i keep it in 350-375 PAR...

I will try and get a pic in the next few days of my colony under Radion G5 Blues but this is a pic of a smaller colony under t5’s and G4 Radions.

I do get better colors under the hybrid t5/LED set up than the all G5 Blue Radion system, but not by that much. I hope this helps. My tanks have similar parameters in PAR and nutrition. I am pushing 350-500 PAR in my tanks with a lot of spread in light to make this happen.

I took this picture with the tank still, overhead, and with an orange filter on my IPhone 12.

Anyone can do this with the correct equipment and understanding of water chemistry. I assure you that it is a lot about the LIGHT, SPREAD, and BALANCE of CHEMISTRY and NUTRITION You can do this. This particular picture is of a 60 gallon tank that has THREE XR15, Gen 4 Radions and FOUR t5’s from a Geismann hybrid fixture to accomplish the spread I am talking about. Spread of light and PAR is huge for coloration of SPS. This is complete coverage of the top of the tank with light.

That’s my 35 years of experience.

I'll try to get an updated picture. I have another one that I've been cooking but doesn't look exactly like a wd. It was purchased as just a mystery tenuis that oddly looked like a wd or something similar

It's the little one in the middle. Glowing yellow
