superman browning

[danrobberg]

the top part of my superman montipora is browning. the polyps are still a nice red but the blue is browning on top. the coral is still growing nicely, and the sunset monti next to it is dowing great. any suggestions?

I've had luck keeping the colors on my superman bright by keeping it at higher light and flow than other encrusting montis.

its getting a lot of light, but I'll try giving it more water flow. thanks

Dan, mine is the same way. The polyp are nice and reddish orangishy... but the base is no longer blue, it is brown (matches the polyps actually. Mine is about 6" under a 150W MH in a good flow area.
