Yall, this coral is a beautiful purple. I took this photo several times to make sure the color was as close to accurate as possible. However, every image I can find has a greenish base and mine is solid purple. Any tips for getting the greens to come out?

Usually the fresh frag cuts end up with having green. Alternatively, it’s also lighting, high intense lighting removes greens like it does for miyagi torts. Lower lighting brings it back. I moved my miyagi for lower lighting and seen this result since I like seeing some green in the colony.

You can ask the seller on how they got it purple and do the reverse too. Or if they know how to pull the green out.

Thank you, I purchased from WWC. It was actually pretty brown when I received it, presumably due to shipping stress. I may lower it down a bit to see if I can get a little green in it. I like the contrast.

I'd contact WWC for help. I get support from POTO, for example, for par, flow and parameters. Same with SBB and others.
