Here is mine. Only been in my tank a few weeks and has settled in and showing some yellow at the tips. Not sure about the rest of it, my colorblind eyes struggle with this color, LOL!!

It's under Radion pro G2, 14k setting for pic....

I'm not posting this picture to brag about growth or color or anything like that but more to show that the purple flamingo is a survivor! Honestly by the looks of it I would not have expected it but this piece survived a crash that wiped out over 90% of my Acros. The whole bottom part of it necrosed and after six weeks it's almost all healed and the yellow tips are coming back!

After a full blown crash and 2 "funks" this thing is still kickin'.

Not a lot of growth or color but I feel it's finally starting to settle in...

Is this a deep water acro? I have it under 250 par at the moment. Maybe not enough light?

Definitely not a "deep water" in that sense but finicky for sure. seems to like a lot of light though it yours is brown then id move it up for sure. should at least be red/ purple:)

Mine is under high flow and moderate light. I am adding another Radion soon and some T5s so this will be getting MUCH more light soon. I hope it likes it!

Ahh. It has smooth skin so I figured it's deep water! It's so encrusted at this point. I'll see what I can do. :(
