I love this coral, it is so blue. mine is green. I just wonder why.

Thanks! All my corals are still coloring up from the hydrogen peroxide misshap not too long ago. It may shift to green.

I like the LED's for the "pop" when the halides go off. I really like to have T5's blended in with the halides but then again thats what Im used too. I really like the fixture I have, still trying to dial in the light hight and nutrient level.

Update: So since the H202 mishap corals loss a lot of the zooxanthellae and loss a lot of their color. Corals are still coloring back up but I should of raised my light and ran less carbon. I seemed to have photo shocked some of my corals. So raised my light 5" and running less carbon. I took a couple shots today. Corals are very healthy but you can see where some have colored down in spots do to very clean water and too much light.

You know I really like the setosa. I like mine and I don't really see to many of them around. Mine survived my LTA grabbing off a rock. But looks like its going good for you bud.

Keep reefing
