Too much light?

[ingersoll]

My new Zoas are starting to turn whit in the center when they are open. Are they getting too much light? I have Leds and I believe they were under t5s in the store.

Tough to say, I would say yes. it's hard to tell with out a pic?

They call that "morph".
Yes, normally it's because of adaptation to light.

How far did you place them from the lights?

just like sps zoos will adjust their color to your light and water conditions, be patient and don't move them around too much, you could try to place them on the sandbed at first and acclimate them up.

So once the zoos acclimate they will get the color back?
Sorry to jump in on your post ingersoll.

try not to think of it as "back" they will adjust to your lighting, but in the beginning the colors will be duller than once they are acclimated.

Thank you. I did place them on the sand bed. They are looking better now!
