SPS turned pale with new light maybe?

[ps2cho]

Hi guys,

Since I slowed water changes, turned off the gfo and allowed the po4 to rise from 0.00...along with of course alk and ca very stable, everything is doing 10x better. The STN/RTN completely stopped, polyps are out, everything is happy. I even noticed today new coraline growth that I haven't seen at all, ever! The rocks turned green a few weeks ago, and now there are spots of purple everywhere!

One SPS frag though for some reason was bright green and it has turned a really pale white. I am not sure why. Everything else is doing fine, its just this particular frag. Photo is the bottom one.

Any ideas? The only change in the last 3 weeks was the upgrade from my Reefbreeders value LED, to TWO Reefbreeders Photon 24's. I set them low though and everything else hasn't shown any change. In fact, more color than before.
Could it be too much light? Hopefully you can tell...

1.026

10.1 dkh

4 nitrate
0.08 phosphates

PS: Keep in mind lights just turned on for the day, so polyps aren't completely out yet. BUT the issue SPS is this color at the peak of the day. (last photo)

Your saying that last pic was green,Is it a green slimer or what kind is it ,Hard to tell

Is it getting good flow by it..

 

[ps2cho]

Yes. It was bright green before. Now its basically white. Not sure what SPS it is.

Its been same place for flow so nothing changed there.

Likely shocked from more intense lighting. Most SPS will recover 100% if they are not sloughing off tissue. Just leave it be and it will regain color in a little while.

It doesn't look like its STN'ing or anything. It just looks like when we about to throw up and go all pale

Really happy so far with the tank progression with the "elusive" SPS!!
