O.K. here's a new one on me. My Colt coral is well over a year old and I had taken a cutting from it and had succesfully attached it to a rock. The two pieces are setting next to one another. It's a 75 Gal Reef mixed: Softies,LPS and SPS. I know there are a lot of people that stick to one type of coral in thier tank but I like the variety. Lighting: Outer Orbit Dual 150 Watt 10K MH and Dual 130W dual Actinics. Water quality is constant. 1.025 SG. 1350PPM Magnesium, 390 PPM calicum, PH of 8.3 , Alk of 10 , Temp 82 , . Iodine supplements twice a week, lime water every night(1400ML) , DT's and zooplex twice a week.
OK, Here's the mystery. The Colts were a light tan or flesh color and all of a sudden(overnight) they went to a ghost white color. Polyps are still expanding and contracting and it is still reactive.
Filtration is a 20G long set up as a refugium and my protien skimmer is in the refugium. Two powerheads in the tank along with a magnum with no media in it, just for flow. All together I'm pushing around 1300 GPH.
