Looks just like mine, when I got it from ASD. I moved mine half way up and starting to lighten up after about a month

Time for an update and some thought about the coloration of Alter Ego. I believe the lack of color is an elemental deficiency of some sort. I had mine go grey and pale (everything seemed to do the same) but after dosing true balling solutions (Tropic Marin Balling salts) with a third part that is sodium chloride free sea salt. The Alter Ego has become nuclear pink and is going crazy growing again! I've also noticed that if I routinely dose Iron supplements made from Fergon iron tablets that it gets the crazy pearlescent sheen over it. Here's a current pic. I haven't dosed iron in a couple months, or changed it's location light wise. It is still sitting in the same place with 375-385 PAR. I moved it today to get behind it, so I snapped a quick iPhone pic.
