Got this from lfs. He was going to throw it out. I have had it for about a month. I noticed a little color. Maybe its going to turn into something good. Under whites it is brown with a little green. it was dark brown when I got it. bad picture but under blues it is green.

Here is my frag rack from an old tank several years back pretty full of browned frags I bought. Its fun watching them color up. Sorry dont know how that second pic of my tank all cloudy and new ended up there.

What??? I wish I had that kind of LFS

I guess I am lucky. All are colored up really well. This is my favorite LFS for corals and sps frags for sure.

Just a question for you guys. When your acros are brown do they go through a transition phase of green first and then back to it's original color?

Purchased a few acros at the beginning but due to unstable parameters/lighting, those frags have browned out. Once I got everything in line, I got some new acros and they are all doing great with vibrant colors but my old frags have been turning brown to green. Just wondering is this a normal transition or is there something else that may be a problem.

In my experience there is a transition period. It usually takes several months. The color will usually lighten up first then start to switch. Stick with it and you’ll be rewarded. The outcome can be very surprising sometimes.

Here's a wild deep water colony I bought that was white, who knew what to expect. Had holes in skeleton where a polyp should have been. I now looks like this, with blue polyps.

And second photo is of pink Cadillac that wasn't going so hot when I got it.
