Pink Lemonade color?

KLR · Jul 21, 2011

I just got my Pink Lemonade frag a few weeks ago and was wondering what is the best place to put it in the tank?
High light?
High Flow?
etc.

I ask because right now it is solid green,it still is showing PE,but it is just green.

Anyone else experienced this with Pink Lemonade?

My experience with it is that it starts green as a frag and will get a more pink and yellow color as it gets bigger. Unfortunatly I'm starting with a new frag again in the new tank and it seems to be doing the same thing as last time. I have it in the top 1/3 of the tank under t5s.

haa i do the same game with my kentuckyee bluegrass stag. i have one up high and a growing one down low.

Ok mine is still a frag so maybe that is part of it aswell. I like it more yellow so its going to stay up high

Mine takes as much light as I can give it... Blast it with flow and light....

Yeah the encrusting part normally does if it is exposed to light... Same goes for most acros ime.

High light high flow and you will get the nicest yellow acro in the game. Who can resist that yellow glow with pink polyps? An absolute must in any sps tank. It is one of my favorites. I have many favorites though.......

I am in the same boat KLR, I have one piece in my 45g under T5s about half way in the tank. The new growth comes in yellow but the whole body is still green. I thought I had the wrong coral so I bought another frag and put it under a AI unit way at the top and it is still all green. It is still puddling green, hopefully when it shoots out growth it will be yellow. They both have phenomenal PE and are in high flow areas, just not yellow.

the green is a nice pastel color with bright yellow on all the corallite ridges 12" under a 150. Blast it with as much flow as you can but make sure it's glued securely lol
