Monti Question - Colors

[Av8tor2]

I put this in the tank a few weeks ago.

Doh I hit it while cleaning, and broke it. My question is why is it turning brown/dark green.

Lighting?

The tank is at:
Salt - 1.025
PH - 8.08
Alk - 11.08
CA - 443
MG - 1440
Phosphate - .12
Nitrate - 10.6


I have them on acclimation mode. And they are ramping up for the other coral I just got in.

Help and information is greatly welcomed.

Thanks

Do you have a before and after picture?

Sadly no. :|

You have a very nice looking tank there... Macbalacano.

Is the whole thing turning brown? Algae/diatoms will start to grown onto dead coral skeleton.

Just the center, the picture is just a few moments ago. Last water change I tried to blow it off and it didn't come off.

I am having a GHA issues. I am finally coming out on the other side of that problem. (shh don't tell the tank, I am sure it would grow over night if it heard I was thinking I am winning).

Hard to tell color in the pic. Too much blue. I tried filtering it out some but didn't help much

Thank you for your kind words! Sorry to hear about your troubles. If it was happy in the same spot for a few weeks and didn't change until you accidentally broke it, I would just try to keep it in the same spot as before and let it recover. Hopefully the color comes back soon!
