ORA Juicy Grape Acro coloration help needed

[Hurricane Aquatics]

Hey all,

Well, normally I would know what to do in this situation, but I'm a bit stumped. Lighting is a RB 36" 250w DE MH fixture running twin Hamilton 14k bulbs.

ORA Juicy Acropora frag. Has excellent PE, seeing nice growth, but the deep blue is nowhere to be found.

The front picture I'm posting, of course the color is off from my camera. It's much darker, like a dark reddish pink.

Then a shot from the top. My initial thoughts tell me it's under too intense lighting and lowering lighting will have its color come back.

Then I think, is it sorta brown and needs more light? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Top down shot looks like a tinge of blue coming thru.
I think go up, more light.
(could frag a piece and try both spots)

Edit: how long in your system?

I bought one recently and have made it to "greenish" in color, although it is growing well. Then again, all of my digitiferas except for one look similar, so maybe that's how they will grow for me.

This one and the Green Planet have been doing great. I also have a voodoo ORA that's doing OK as well. My Red Planet ORA is not doing well at all. They sent me a tiny frag much different than the others.
