Magnifica Color?

[jah hoeva]

Should I be concerned about a few tentacles and tips of my Mag turning a distinct orange color? It has a magenta foot and tan (sometimes hints of green depending on light) tentacles. Mouth area is a bright green color. If you look to the left of the orange tips you can see orange developing mid way in some other tentacles also. Don't know what to make of it. Its been in my system since first week of July. Picture was taken after lights out with an LED flashlight.

I wouldn't be worried, pretty weird though!

I've never seen this happen before, but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing! Could just be adjusting to captive conditions and lighting? Sure would be neat if all the tentacles turned orange!

Definitely has some full orange tentacles now. Not really sure why and have yet to find any info on this.

Can you take a photo with the lights on? Nems look very different with the lights off and a flash.

Also, what else do you have in the tank?

I will take one tonight. I took it with the lights off and only white LED flashlight and camera flash so I could see its color without the T5's making it look different.

Its a mixed reef in fallow at the moment, majority LPS. 2 or 3 RBTA in the tank.

Any idea D-Nak why it would start developing this color?

Best the wife could do while I'm working.

T5's on:


All lights off, no flash, just natural daylight:
