Added a Miami Hurricane to the tank (3 eyes) about 1 month ago. Looked good when it arrived but a little pale. Placed it very near the bottom of the tank and over next 2 weeks it colored up well and looked like it was thriving. That has now reversed and over the last couple of weeks it's started fading and probably about three quarters of it is a pale creamy color. Last week I moved it to an area that's slightly shaded and I've been feeding daily with small amount of Rod's food. Coloring might be coming back a little but that might be wishfull thinking too. Any suggestions appreciated.

Tank is BioCube 14 gallon with 72w of PC lighting. Parameters tested regularly and all within normal paramters with no major swings. Have a small fuge and chemi-pure in second chamber.

Salinity 1.026 (using refractometer)
Temp 79.5 to 80.5
PH 8.2
Alk 8dkh
Calcium 440
Magnesium 1350
Nitrates 0
