This guy just keeps getting more white. Any ideas? I have just cleaned the glass hence all of the bits in the water.

So couple weeks ago I had to move my trumpet coral bc my RFA smothered it. It’s finally showing signs of coming back 🙌

My favia coral however, went from vibrant and thriving to suddenly turning brown. I had a lot go on in that time… new wave maker that I was fine tuning placement, treating Cyo-Control for a relentless Cyano outbreak… any ideas why it might have suddenly lost its color?

Good morning reefers. Can anyone describe what’s going on with my tangs back and top fin, also losing color around the face . It’s not from aggression or where he sleeps in the rocks .

Spooked! First time he noticed the natural sunlight in the evening. Didn’t know they could change their colors so much. Almost looks like he was trying to mimic the shimmer of the leds or purple coral.

Did a little bit of maintenance today since additional corals are coming in! 🪸

It's a trachyphyllia and a blue ricordea yuma. Such a nice combination of contrasting colors. On a side note, the indophyllia started to recover from its bleaching state. ✨

Can you guess what it's true color? 🤔

This one made me wonders a lot. At a glance, the tip should be regular blue-ish. Yet under the Mantis® coral lens, it shows a rather purple-ish tip.

What do you guys think? 🤔

Holy Grail Torch, B-Grade. 🪸
