Is my torch and frogs pawn bleaching out?

[canadianeh]

The frogspawn is transparent green. Is it supposed to be transparent? What lighting setting is best and where is the best placement of the corals?
I am using Nanobox Duo Plus M LED.

Both of them look ok to me. Mine look just like yours in the pictures. Just my two cents.

So frogspwan is normal to look transparent under non blue light?

Have they faded or changed? Or have they always looked that way? You didn't say....


I wouldn't worry too much at this point, they look healthy. I have a very light colored frogspawn as well. Some specimens have more transparency than others...ie: the coloration density can be variable.

sorry.....they have been look the same from day#1 when I got them from well known local reefer. In person they look way much better. I can't capture the nice coloration on camera as well. I am worried about the transparency on them.

They will have some transparency when they are well inflated like that. It varies morph to morph but generally it will get a little more color if you move it down. It looks healthy where it is IME.

If that's the way they came, then I wouldn't worry at all. They look great. The Torch looks like a totally normal torch to me, and the Frogspawn just looks like a somewhat unique pastel-like color morph. Nothing wrong with that! You may have a rare variety on your hands!

Their paleness to me suggests a low nutrient environment. Have you tried feeding?

 

[canadianeh]

I have started to feed them with reef roids 1-2 times per week in the past a couple of weeks

I had the same thing with my hammer about a year ago. I moved it a little lower and checked the flow. It since colored up. Now it has dark tentacles and nice tips and 8 heads.
