I'll start by saying it is hard to capture a picture of this because it is evident only under the actinics.
I got a pink Montipora frag 2-3 months back. It was a bright fluorescent pink upon putting in my tank, however, it faded significantly and no longer glows under the actinics. I have not been able to find out why.
The interesting part is it is growing well. The new growth is bright pink and flouresces greatly under the actinics. However the middle is still very dull.
Any advice? Is this normal? How can I color up the original portion of the frag?
