Lobo getting new colors

slate744 · Nov 30, 2013

I bought this lobo about a month ago and about a week ago I noticed it is starting to get some new colors. Yellow, blue, and green. Is this normal for a lobo to start changing color?

Some do depending on the lighting their under. In your case, I'd be pretty excited.

I am very excited!! It is turning in to a very beautiful coral. I hope the color keeps spreading. It started as a small green spot and is now starting to get some yellow in a little over a week.

My lobo did this as well. It was a nice rainbow when I first received it.... Then turned all purple under led. Now back under T5 starting to get some yellow and green back.

OK good to know. I was thinking about going to leds but the more I talk to people about it I think I'm just gonna stick with my t5s.

I only used Led for a few months and to be honest It was not a full spectrum fixture, but I'm a T5 kinda guy

I just was talking to a fellow reefer the other day that has a few of the same corals I have from the same colony and he was saying mine have better color and are fuller than his. The only difference is I use t5 and he uses led. So I think I'm just gonna stick with my t5s. They have done me good so far.
