I agree.

Calcium deposits? Check out the thread at the top of the forum on white lesions just in case.

actually .. those look like button polyps and they turned to the right color .. not bleached.

in real life they are almost gray.... its a huge difference from about 3 weeks ago.

i think the pix dont help

but im positive that they are bleaching or something, is there any hope, i dont think this how they should look

but what do i know

lfduty tell me that zoa's wont bleach and they dont look bleached to him

i have the same button polyps as you, and they changed colors every once in awhile. i found that under higher lighting + heavier flow, they were able to keep the intense green

thanx kigs that may be it, i moved the flow direction away from them recently...
