Just curious if anyone has any tips on keeping corals "neon" green color bright. Specifically torches, but i have noticed some acros have done this also. They fade from the bright neon color, to more of a mint green color. Anyone with any tips to share?
Most likely spectrum possibly? I believe i need to decrease some of the "blue" and crank up the "royal blue" since i run them at equal percentages.

Color shift will happen with new coral, manly due to what water parameters and light intensity and spectrum it was in before purchasing. How much it shifts is a guessing game.
 
True. Just weird that some keep their green base, some shift to mint, or forest green. Have some acros that are insane neon green, and some that were, and are now forest green. Corals are weird. Lol.

I have been working hard on getting nutrients down, which has helped with a few of them.
 
Test your iron. It's linked to the green bioluminescence in algae in coral. I mean coral is basically algae. Mine is too high, so all my sps are on the greener side sadly.
