PC Superman Green?

Jimbo · Jun 23, 2016

I have a frag of PC Superman that I got about 7 months ago from BattleCorals. Been getting good growth and great polyp extension but the color is just not there.

It's basically green. Does it take a while for the red and blue to come in? Frag looks great other than color. Here's a cell phone pic.

Well......sometimes it takes months to color up but in this case i would say its the parameters or lighting that has caused your PC superman to morph to another color. But it looks nice and happy, so just let it grow and hope you get some crazy new colors to come out : )

looks sorta like Thermans Rainbow.

Lots of light, 400 par or more.
I have one colony and it's over 400 par.
Nice frag!

got my pc superman from BC also, when it was plating out on the rock surface it was green, but when it started branching upwards it turn pink and blue

For me it was slow to develop. As a frag they are very underwhelming. This is one of those corals that starts to look good as it gets bigger. I used to tease Adam that this was my most disappointing frag. Now that it's bigger I'm s fanboy again lol!

Here's mine, I got only blue tips on the outer ends as you can see.

Nice colony Diesel! Mine's getting about 400 par of T5 lighting . Looks very healthy and getting good growth so I'm hoping the color will come next. Sounds like it's just going to take some time.

Thanks for the replies

Keep up the good work.
Any pics?

Mine is even more green but it's mostly the encrusting parts... And it's encrusting a ton. Inches off the plug.

Just got a frag. Super excited for this piece.

I have a mini-colony that's greenish at the base but transitions to pink/purple/red as you progress up the colony. It's in pretty high light. I have a small frag that's in lower light and that one is totally green. I recently moved tanks and in the old tank the frag was under high light and had the same coloration as the mother. After moving, the shock of transferring and lower light caused it to green out. It's been real slow to come back though.
