Pink lemonade colors

[twiggyb]

Crappy pic, but I was wondering if I would get a more yellow color if I lowered the frag down in the tank more. I'd like to see other peoples Pink Lemonades as well

I used to have good PE until I added an OSFF. It's about 10-12 in. under my ecoxotic panorama fixture.

Here's a pic of when I first got it a year ago.

Here's my growing PL

Nice, how long did it take to grow out? Mine encrusted fast, but hasn't grown up at all. How big was yours when you got it?

No pic right now, but my Pink Lemonade frag was greenish with red polyps. It took months to lay down a huge base, but now has more than a dozen branches that are growing fast. They are very yellow with bright pink polyps. It was a disappointment, but now that it is established, it is one of my favorite corals.

It is my understanding that pink lemonade is more green under lower lighting. Yellows come out under stronger lighting.

Dan,

Where is that lemonade mounted in proximity to the 250 watt Radiums?

Dan,

A few inches under the surface and almost dead center under a lumenarc III so its getting pounded by light and strong random flow

ya mine is directly under my halide, and 6 t5s and it's very green.

Sounds like you need to move it up higher. What kind of flow is it getting?

Here's a pic of my frag a month ago.

It has a couple of branches sprouting up now.

Looks like its about to start growing some new active growth tips.It will take off soon

My PL puts out some crazy PE, like a mille. I think, if you want it yellow give it more light.

I'm pretty sure that's the ATL Shades of Fall, which is oftentimes confused with the PL. If the tips continue show pink/purple that's a good sign it's the SOF. Here's a couple pics for comparison-

I don't think I can put it any higher up. It's on the frag rack on the upper left hand side.

The tips aren't pink, that's the polyps retracted. My filefish keeps all my polyps in during the day. It's more natural :lol:

I plan on having it under some 400w halides when my bigger tank goes up, I was just asking really for future reference. It's a very hardy coral for me. It's been through a lot of things. This one and my tri colors and prostata are troopers.
