I have a few Ricordeas in my tank that have been in there over 2 years. Within the last 3 months they have lost all color when my T5 fixture is on. You can see through them, but when I the T5's cut off and the Blue LED moonlights cut on, they are as pretty as can be. What is causing this to happen? Can I bring back the colors in them?
 
Have you moved them, changed bulbs or lighting recently?
 
Are you feeding them?

Same lighting ive had them under the last 2 years. Havent changed bulbs in about a year. Have new ones on the way as we speak. Bought some ATI lamps. Heard they were the best. Havent moved them since I moved to my new house 2 years ago. Has good decent flow.



Are you feeding them?

I feed Marine Snow, Phyco Pure Reef Blend and along with the leftover food that my fish dont eat. Wouldnt that be enough?
 
My rics did the same thing when they were not getting enough light. I think you will see an improvement once you get the new bulbs.

I hope so bc they are stunning in the Moonlights. It has multi colors. Red, orange, green, yellow and a touch of purple. They might be a yuma.
