Hello all, I have a wild harvested Lobo that I purchased from the LFS 6 months ago.
It had a nice orange border with a blue-ish center.
It has since gone to brown.
It eats quite a lot and is nice and puffy and a bit bigger than before as well.

Currently at 130 PAR.
Any idea on how to get the colors back?

If it is an LPS then you might want to move it around the tank more. It's possible that it doesn't like the light quality. Unlike anemones, it doesn't have a foot to move around so your coral is trapped unless you move it. So try it around its different spots in the tank to see if it opens up more to different lighting. Also, brown isn't necessarily a bad color. When it turns gray or white then you should start to worry but as long as the fleshy part of the coral is still there, you might just want to try something with the lighting. I'm new to reef2reef and I am starting up my tank for the first time in a while so inexperienced people like me need the most help so please follow me :) I hope everything works out!
