Two weeks ago, I got an order from reefscience that substituted an acro for a fungia (nice deal, huh. I'm not sure which type of acro, sorry. THe caro came in tan but would floursece green under actinic. Slowly but surely, each day, I keep seeing a little more green even under the regular bulbs.
(1) Is this normal for acros to change color?
(2) Some days his polyps are out, some days they are not. They seem to be out less now that a cintron goby spends part of his day amongst the branches, but he also came in with a commensural crab. Should I worry abnout anything here? I can say after settling all the water parametrs out, my phosphates and nitrates are at the lowest readings the kit allows, calcium is a bit low, but as I slowly work up the Mg to 1250 (now about 1150), the calcium has gone up with it (now about 320.) Not far from the acro and in the same current stream, I have a pink stylo that has its polyps out all day. There is a lot of curtrent in the area.
Thx for the help Oh, yeah, T5s, total 324 watts lighting.
