SPS skin Color?

[NanaReefer]

Both my Green Pocillopora and Purple Stylo skin color are white. Both have great Pe and good growth. What are they lacking?
CA=440
ALK=9.0
MAG=1360
PH=8.2
Temp=79.9
NO3=5 via Salifert
PO4=0.01 via Salifert

BUMP!

I think that's about right. Probably nothing to worry about.

I think they are fine. A lot of those SPS get most of their color from the polyps and underlying skeleton is white. Some are colorful all the way through, but most are not.

How long have you had the frags? What lighting did they come from and what lighting are they now under?

 

[NanaReefer]

Frags have been in tank since beginning of March. Came from LED, under LED. Just wondering because my Birds Nest skin is burgundy.

Corals look otherwise very healthy, I tend to think perhaps just a smidgen more light then they really need. I would not change a thing.

My blues are at 60% ramping up/down for 9hrs. Whites at 15% ramping up/down for 5hrs.

They look fine, the white tips tell you they are growing. As far as the underlying skin color, that will vary from coral to coral in relation to flow and light.
