Hey everyone Im new to posting here but though you might like to see my tank with some of my colonies... if anyone had any large ones they would like to part with please let me know im always interested and looking for good color! Enjoy!

My tank as a whole (360gal)

looking to put a name on this ??

Close up of my milli..

Close up of my clam..even though its really not an sps...

i belive this to be a tenus colony ? but ill gladly take input ..

this is an older pic but still the same coral...

tenus as a whole, again older and since moved but still same just better color now..

Tricolor colony moved and doing much better and 10x deeper in color now!

this isnt the greatest pic of my stag (which has since turned green) and my pacilliapora( candy apple green) but both are healthy and doing just fine...(again older pics..sorry)

Hope you have enjoyed them and if your interested in some new pics ill see if i can get some decent shots to put up but as always happy reefing !!!!

EVERYONE !!! I NEED HELP!!

the pic that is just below the closeup of my yellow goby, that green colony has shifted color and looks like its bleaching i've moved him so I could look closer , but should I frag it up or move it down? plz help! i'll get a pic up but the color is still in the tips, and the stalks are whiteish in color whereas they were that deep green..

Did you change anything recently? Lighting, chemicals,etc. How long has it been in the tank?

no unfortunatly its been in a very stable enviroment and my the other acro colonies are doing just fine..they have been in my system for quite awhile as well so I'm lost..like I said there is still polyps extending and color in the tips of bright green but the stalks aren't green any longer they are whiteish...I'm just lost.. should I change my lights? they have been running for about seven months ? maybe run them more or less..or how about my tank temp increase or decrease it maybe? I can also add more or less chem if needed..
