experience with bali tricolor

[pascal32]

Anyone have experience with coloring on the bali tr-color with a green body, yellow tip and blue ends?

All my SPS have lousy colors - this piece is almost white, polyps come out a little though.

I have a piece by name. Blue/purple tips, green polyps. It's grown alot and spreading in my tank. It responds very well to high light and high flow in my tank fwiw

Its one of the more tolerant agonies IME. I had several different colonies from several different sources. I agree it likes higher light and flow. But, if its pale, I'd move it to a quieter area for a while. Let it settle in.

took another picture this morning. Think my corals have been hanging out with the wrong crowd:

Red bugs is your answer. They will be a big stressor on your acropora corals. I can help if you need Interceptor. Remember to treat 3 times!

Thanks for the generous offer Marc. I have interceptor on hand for emergency use, just put it in water change and carbon at midnight!

I'll do the recommended 3 treatments 7 days apart.

thanks!

I'd be willing to bet, you'll see its color improve and growth pick up, within a few weeks.
