i know :hmm6: it should be pink !! but how pink is it
suppose to be ?? her's mine one picture is when i got it and at that
time it was a little bleached with polyps pale and got darker from there .

other than 1 or 2 small branches dead under it the rest has full PE and the front is coloring up,but pink should it be ,to me it looks like a pinky/brown color.

it's 3/4 of the way up under my 250 10k MH and 4 t5 actinics.
water is at 78-79,alk 8.6,ca 420,mag 1290/1350,ph 8.2
flow is medium,strong random from all directions.

here's before and after pics the color seems fairly close to reality

you are on the right track as it was in rough shape, but that coral can turn 2000 shades of hot pink darker than that, and uif it is the coral I think it is it will also have bright yellow growing tips

thanks !! i feel much better now hehe
i read so much that you sometimes wonder if things are in order..

was afraid it was turning brown but that would be from lack of light !!
then to much nutrients can have an effect !! but i don't feed all that much.

been 1 month now in my tank and been looking better ever since (fingers crossed)

wow !!! i hope your right that would be a sweet color pink with yellow tips:bounce2:

here's a picture of it with the rest of the family

thanks
