I have a red montipora and it is starting to lighten in color. I think it may be my LED are too intense and close to the coral. My temp fluctuates from around 78.0 to 81.0, is that too much movement?

GO DUCKS!!!
I lost all my montis when I went to LED so I would imagine that is it (I started them at 30%). Though a 3 degree temp swing is a bit much....anyway you can get that down? Maybe a fan on the sump?

I don't wanna hear anything like that. I'm baking the swap in a few weeks and ivd got about 20 different monti colonies.

Can you control the intensity, or lower the monti? What type of monti is it. I have a bounce and have found that a few are a bit touchy. I turned a Pokerstar recently back to front otherwise in the same exact place. And it went straight pale in the matter of a few days.

I can turn the intensity down a bit and I've put a heater and fan on my tank controller. Temp now goes to 78-79 all day all night. Its a red montipora cap. I had him for a while and he was once completely white, i revived his color back and about 8 months this week he turned more lighter (like a pink)

I have 2 acros and 1 superman montipora that is doing the same thing. I have a red satosa that's tips are kinda dying. And a sunset montipora that is doing alright. My nitrate is at 0 ppm and my phosphate is at 0.10
