Green star polyp not green

[tbobos]

After about 3 months my green star polyp has lost its color and has been a kind of fleshy brown for about 2 more. It's still alive and seems quite happy, just butt ugly. Is there any hope for this thing?

What kind of lighting are they under?

Water parameters?

I'd guess either not enough light or the wrong spectrum, or somethings off with your water.

I have T5's (it's a RedSea 130D). The water params are all normal. I have a smaller GSP colony that seems OK. I'm just wondering if it's possible for the color to come back or if this kind of thing is a one way trip.

color can always come back.

I notice for mines, the higher up in the water column gives them brighter neon green. The lower in the water column, the more greenish brown they are. If you are able to put a frag at a different level, see if it colors up differently. IME, it's the intensity of the lighting.

My GSP are look the same under all lighting (neo green).
