Decided not to order more coral. I need what I have to grow. I would like another crab or two and one more fish. Gloves not spreading, hammer not getting any bigger, cabbage not doing anything. Had to hide/shade all my mushrooms cause of to much light. Thinking of lowing the light back down and concentrating on my mushrooms.

Lights and water parameters will greatly affect coral colors.
I have a couple heads of acans that were green and red in my LFS's tank, now after 4 months in mine, have turned to a bright vibrant yellow and red. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose when it comes to coral colors.

Are you still running the superlux LEDs at 30%? 30% on any LEDs shouldn't be too bad, but I'm glad turning the lights down helped your corals. They do look a little washed out (though I wouldn't call them bleached yet).
Lighting and water chemistry can change colors drastically, as Homer mentioned. I have some acros that are/were supposed to be nice but don't look anything like what they do in other people's tanks or as the vendor showed them. That second point is why lineage is so important in the hobby.

Ahhh ya I go there from time to time to see if anything new is posted. I also check out anything on inverts cause at some point I want to try shrimp again. So far I have killed two. I also keep up with the new to the hobby area cause I still think I am very new at this. Only been at this for 15 months.

Seems the sencor on the ATO is not working. Even it I take it completely out of the tank it still reads max. lol Going to see if I can exchange it. Only have it little over a week. If I can't what do you all use? The one I bought was the hydro smart sensor.
On a side note. A coral just showed up on one of my dry rocks. Not sure what it is and s till to small for me to get good pictures. I am thinking some kind of leather right now. But it is not like my finger leather. Same color almost but no fingers.

I like the Tunze ATOs, either the nano or the full-size one. A lot of people really like the aqua smart ATO, however we've seen at least one that has failed recently around here, and after years and years I still don't think I've heard of a failure with a Tunze ATO.
Free coral, neato! Take pics when it is big enough. Or buy a bigger camera and lens! I can see the smiley face of each polyp on my acroporas now
