Neglected Lobos

[oldschoolmarcel]

Good morning,
Lobos in a tank My son had neglected over the last 5 years, I "inherited" the tank and have been diligently taking care and feeding them. They have responded to feeding small pieces of shrimp and regained their orange coloration but not very much green. Years ago, it was an intense emerald green. I have them under reefbreeders photon lighting sitting at bottom of a 29 biocube in sand.
Been dosing plenty of aminos and reef AB+. Any suggestions?

Hmmm, well it’s good to hear you rescued them! But the colour does depend on the spectrum that they were under when they were initially bought… now they could just still be recovering! Lots of those single polyp LPS can take months (3-7) to come back to their former selves!
I’ve rescued more then my fair share of scoly’s and the like lol. just gotta make sure they’re getting subdued lighting, a fair amount of flow and feed em whenever they present and they’ll bounce back

I'm a big fan of rehabbing corals. It's very satifying to me although they look like crap for a while
