Hi,
I got this green bullseye Rhodactis from liveaquaria, with the expectation for it to look similar to the picture on the site:

Mine looks like this:

They’re very nice, but not as green as I thought they’d be. Given time, will they color up, or are they not green Rhodactis?
Thanks a ton!! Happy new year!

I have found that colors online are not always accurate. And your lighting and nutrient levels may be different which affects color. They look healthy so only time will tell...

Thanks! They’re under stock fluval lighting, so probably won’t show the best coloration. I’m sure that given time and growth, they’ll become nicer.

Moderate light and water flow is their main requirement and occasional feeding helps
