RBTA gone brown

[Swayze27]

Have a BTA that was rose colored with green oral disc. After going in my tank it became more rainbow in appearance. Now it is brown looking. Any ideas on color change? It's healthy, just browning out. Water quality is good and it's under a Maxspect razor. Too much light? Not enough light? More white light? More blue light?

I have multiple different color morphs of bubble tips. Red, green with pink and purple tips, "rainbow", green and red... My t-5/metal halide fixture had an issue and I lost t-5's(coral blues and purples). Didn't rectify the issue for a bit since the halides still worked. So I increased the halide time (20k, but to me looks closer to 11k...don't go cheap on the bulbs, lol)for about 6 weeks. Long story short, the heteractis and stichodactlya weren't phased, but the bubble tips were Browning out. Fixed the bluer light. They changed back in about 3 weeks.

So running a more blue spectrum helped yours?

Tremendously.

Checking in to see if anything helped. I increased the violet and mine got a little darker in color. This picture still doesnt do it justice. Oddly, the orange/yellow in my other bta had changed to darker, making it appear less "rainbow". He'd been red/orange/yellow/green/ purple for over a year. Maybe certain colors react better to different light. I would imagine... The different colors certainly don't get along along all the time. Lol.
