Does this cali tort look good? To me the colors look fine but I've seen no growth at all in about 3 months. Current marine pro less at 95% blues and 55% whites. Blues ramp up from 830am to 930 pm and whites are from 10am to 7pm.

Alkalinity 7.8
Calcium 410
Magnesium 1320
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrates 4
Phosphate .08

From want I've read it's a slow grower. It's sitting about 10 inches under my lights.

this is 8 months later. Slow growing is an understatement lol
 
The higher the par the more deep blue and purple it will get. Here's one I had at 6" under the water line and went from a 2" frag to 8" but took about 8-9 months.

Mine turns green and blue under high light and dark blue almost purple in lower light. I have a colony in my display under low light and one in my frag tank under higher light and it's text book Cali Tort
