my coral has a nice shade of brown but the polyps are almost white.
my water is very clean and is spotless of algae.
i have two mp40 dialed down in my 50 gallon tank
calcium and mag is at proper levels but my alk is between 9 and 9.5 which might be alittle high for a carbon driven system dont know if this makes much fifference.

my light is a 6 bulb 48 inch sunpower and im thinking it may be getting to much light or possibly not enough food.

my garf bonsai is very colorful with bright green polyps so im not sure whats wrong with the birds nest. these are my only two corals and im hesitant to buy more until i find the problem
any help is appreciated.
ps im taking a day trip tommoro so if im late in responded, im not trying to be rude. i always genuinly appreciate all the help and knolege from the people on this site
