Forest fire white?

[Saaqib_Ansari]

I got this frag few weeks ago and I noticed when it came the acc coral is white with red polyps from the pictures when I bought it it was meant to be green? Is it receiving too much light or? Is it meant to be like that?

it’s started to grow an appendage on the left branch which is also white? Not sure if bleaching?
parameter wise; I can only give u ammonia - 0 nitrite -0 nitrates - 0-5 salinity 1.025 temperature 26 degrees

Pretty sure it’s the same one can’t find the picture of the exact same frag but even the same frag had green so not sure what’s going on

So no issues with it being white? I heard someone mention adding iodine to the tank and that bringing back the colour any truth to this?

No idea. Probably some chemistry issue. Maybe low nitrates. Who knows...

I think I do have low nitrates last time I checked it was pretty sure it was 0 been struggling to get them up for a while now

just slowly increase feeding..slowly!!and monitor

I struggle with nitrates as well. Which is not good. MO is that they should sit around 5. Mine are undetectable which can be a recipe for disaster. I’m working on bringing them up slow as well.
