Favia losing color.

[jlabeaume]

Still new to all this. When I got this coral it looked like this

Now it looks like this

The only thing that changed is I upgraded my lights to kessil 150 sky blue

Could it be too much light now?

Or am I overthinking this and it's fine?

Thanks

It sure doesn't look bad to me. Actually looks very healthy.

Looks happy to me. Sometimes coral changes color depending on your tank, lights, etc.

FYI- looks like platygyra, not favia.

Favia reacts to strong lighting by either quickly dying or slowly changing color and dying.

If you changed your lights and corals are reacting to it, not always a good thing.

Move coral to shade and slowly introduce to new LED rays.

You're right. I messed that one up.

And thanks guys. I'll move the light and see if it helps.

make sure you feed it as well. If you feed the tank with frozen food it should feed the fish as well as corals.

Yeah I feed Spirulina Brine Shrimp daily and mysis randomly. I have never spot feed any corals.
Everything else looks good. Actually better since I lost a power head.

Favia like indirect light.

The color it gives is going to be based on how blue your lights are. The sky blue puts out fairly low light and doesn't blast the blue spectrum so the colors might look a bit duller. Under lower light that one should look somewhat better under the kessil, but it won't go back to looking like it did before with that light.
