Ricordea yuma, brown and boring

[n0rdin]

As you can see my yuma got a really boring colour, am I doing something wrong or is my yuma just this boring colour ?. all my water parameters are within the range of good

what lights do you have? what are your water params?

At this moment I got 4x 54W t5 running, but I got 2x 250W MH aswell, not running since I dont got any sps/lps so far.

my water params are good checked them earlier today and I cba do it all over again . But they have been looking like this since I got them, they came along with a live rock I bought.

maybe time to get new test kits or possibly nutrients are being exported by the algae in the background of the pic as fast as they are being produced. I think the yuma is displaying its natural color.

also,maybe you could supplement with some actinics.

Oh okey, yea the algae appeared when my RO broke, and I did a major waterchange with not clean RO about 80% of my total volume, might be because of that then .

I have a couple different morphs of yuma that are pretty dull. Mine aren't quite that brown, but between the brown and the green they just kinda fade into the rest of the reef. It can be kind of irritating.
