Pale white seahorses

[Mikeeee]

Lately my black kuda seahorses have been constantly white. At first they were black and when they did the mating dance they went white and back to black. I knew this was normal. Now lately everytime i check they are pale white, morning, afternoon, evening. I am beginning to think that my O2 levels are to LOW or CO2 levels are to HIGH. How can i go about correcting this? and why might of it happened? could it be my macro algae? Right now my macro algae is doing not bad and im seeing growth, some is dying which i usually pull out, but i do notice new stolon/rhzoids? shooting out. Could this also be why my snails are not moving unless i pick them up? My seahorse are still very active and eating well and hunting for pods and everything but their white pale color that they have had for the past 5-7 days got me wondering what is wrong.

Please help!

If their respiration is normal and they are eating and active, I really don't think you have anything to be concerned about.

It's quite normal for seahorses to change colors for various reasons.

I would suggest at this point to just continue to monitor them.
