Hawkins color. What should it be?

[Froggy]

Should an ORA Hawkins be colored blue throughout? I have trouble doing this myself. My Hawkins is bright blue at the growth tips and more of a teal green/blue throughout the rest of it.
If I should be striving for an entirely blue coral, what is the secret? Lighting, flow, nutrients? All of the above ?

Thanks,
Joe

Teal green/blue body and bright blue tips seems about right....at least the same as mine. I think they are great. I have another turaki that is slightly more on the green side and not quite as bright (but still nice)......love the hawkins.

Well. that is good news. Definitely one of my favorite corals as well. The Hawkins is the only smooth skinned coral I have and would like a couple more color variations. At least I am doing something right I guess!
