My candlelight acro is growing well, but it has lost it's green tip coloration and is an overall light lavender color now.
It was under halides and transitioned to LEDs when this change happened.

Do you suppose it needs more light or less? It lightened up, which makes me think less, but I read that the greens come out under higher light.

more or less? Thanks!
 
I would give it time to get use to the leds first. At least 2 weeks and gradually ramp things up. You don't want to burn them

Do you have access to a PAR meter?

The change has happened over a 6 week period. It is used to the lights and has settled on an overall lavender color with no green. When I first got it it was darker purple with green tips.
thanks!
 
I do know know that corals change under different lighting. If it was from another tank the parameters might be different.
