Green vs Red/Blue SPS?

[meverha1]

Are Green SPS coral considered easier to keep vs red/blue? I've noticed in my tank that a couple of Green SPS frags seem to be thriving while the red/blue ones seem to be browning out. Any ideas why?

I am no expert, but greens have seemed to be the lowest light demanding Acros. In contrast, red/pink seem to need the most light. Green is reflecting wavelengths that are not typically used for photosynthesis, while red is used by many chlorophyll pigments. Thus, a red coral is reflecting light that it "needs", so it simply needs more light. Blue corals could have a similar problem with reflecting high energy blue light.
