Pink digitata

[velvetelvis]

How well do these keep their color? I just got one and am keeping it under 150W/14K MH with actinics. Is this enough lighting, or is it likely to turn orange?

I have seen orange digitata turned pink using Zeo Spur2.

i keep mine in the highest spot in the tank with pretty high flow. This is were i also keep most of my digis, they seem to do well

They don't need any special chemicals just really high light will do the trick. Mine has pink tips.

Thanks for the advice. I've got it in the highest spot in my tank, about 8" under the bulbs (it was under 400W at the LFS). Right now it looks mostly brownish-orange, but I can see a bit of hot pink in some polyps. I hope it turns pink--I already have a couple of really nice orange digis.

Mine just need alot of light. I have 250w 12.5k bulbs.

Hmmm...I only have 150W. I wonder if mine is going to turn orange. Bummer.

i had pink keep its color fine in higher light but my orange liked lower light.

So far the polyps at the very top, closest to the light, are turning pinkish. That's a good sign, right? *crossing fingers* I have 2 MP10s on the tank, so the flow should be good (my other montis are all fat and happy).

i have a frag that has doubled in size since i got it. It has been through alot, including changing from t5's to MH, and has kept its color nicely under my 250w pheonix 14k's. Mine likes a lot of light, Its 3/4 of the way up in my 75g, its also kept in medium to low flow.
