Coral Colour

[chrissohk]

Anyone know any reason a piece of coral may be losing some of its colours and if there is any way to fix it. I've had this coral for around 5 weeks.

There are a lot of factors such as water parameters, flow, too much light, too little light, etc. What kind of coral is it and what is happening with the colour?

Agreed we need more info, also age of the tank water temp.

its a soft coral similar to green star polyp, its tips were green before but now its white. the coral is opening up but just the colour has changed.

White can be either to much light, an abnormal increase in temp.
It may be expelling it’s zoo, aka, bleaching.
