I noticed maybe 1/3 of my corals are green or have green, so that may be why I notice it with this color the most but green seems to be the one color that'll fade most in my tank or disappear. I'm running a t5 hybrid with an AI prime over a 2x2x2 cube. The t5 bulbs are 2 ati blue plus, 1 ati coral plus, 1 ati aquablue special over my tank. But even if green isn't fading, how can I bring it out even more? I have some coral with a green hue I'd like to bring it to be more dominant. But I know I have a green monti cap that seems to be dulling a bit compared to when I had first got it.
 
I have found if my nutrients are too high corals get more brown, if nitrates bottom out they fade. Other than that light intensity seems to make them shift colors. Those are the only things I have seen impact color in my systems.
 
I will say for the down period of my tank, when the t5s shut off for the end of the day I have only blues on the tank slowly ramping down till all lights are out. Idk if that can effect it.
