browned out green milli

[milsaltnewbie07]

Hey guys I having a really hard time getting this milli to color up. It growing fine just will not get green idk what to do. Some other corals are having the same issue, all green corals. However my scc has green and pink, my pearberry, rainbow and sunset monti and green slimmer. I tested my water and phos and nitrates are reading undetectable. I feed 2 times a day and dose red sea reef energy eod. Calcium is 480 alk 9. Lightning are 2 hydras. Help me color this bad boy up please.....

Is it a wild piece? I have a Mille that was a wild chop and it was a ridiculous electric green. It lost all that shimmer and looks dull to me. Lately it's been coloring up but it's more of a peachy color and nowhere near what it was, and it looks like a totally different coral. It's still nice. Maybe that's at play here assuming all your other corals look good?

Not that I know off I got it of my buddy who got it of me 3 years ago lol. It was super green. He has his on a to tank. Funny thing it that's it entrusting like crazy, just won't color up. All other corals look great, except 2 other green across who are turning green/brown now after being white almost.

I usually get brown colors when my Phosphates and Nitrates are high. If you look at Redsea's material for the reef care program they state that high nutrients promote fast growth but tend to cause some corals to go darker colors or brown. Maybe this is what is going on with you.

Actually it was the same color when I had 0 fish in the tank, an almost lost everything because tank had 0 nutrients
