Okay so I have read several responses and articles but I still can't really get a straight answer why some of my multicolored corals are turning all green. I've heard that too much blue light can cause it and then other people say that's not true, I have to AI Hydra 26 lights over my 75 gallon mixed reef tank. UV's and violets are both at 118%. Royal blue at 86%, light blues at 87%, greens at 4%, reds at 9%, and cool whites are at 29%. Lights run from 09:30am to 10:00 pm with 1 hour ramp up and down at the beginning and end of those times so lights are on for a total of 12 and 1/2 hours each day.

I use Instant Ocean reef crystals with a Jebao dp-4 dosing pump which keeps all my levels pretty stable and I have a gfo reactor. I do not have a sump setup yet and I'm not currently using any type of macroalgae. 55 to 60 lbs live rock.
1 yellow tang
3 blue green chromis
1 firefish
1 flame angel
1 yellow tail blue damsel
1 scooter blenny
1 six line dressed
13 snails (assorted)
7 hermit crabs (assorted)
3 emerald crabs
1 cleaner shrimp
1 feather duster
Tank is 4 and 1/2 months old
It's a little hard to tell in these pictures which I took from my phone but when I got the corals they weren't mostly green like they're turning into now.
