3 months ago I bought a Strawberry Shortcake frag from a local reefer who also has a little coral business.
The mother colony is shown below and over the last few months the frag has lost all color.
I had it positioned at the top of my rock work and it has been receiving pretty much as much light as my Hydra 26's can throw at it.
I have a couple more acros in a similar position and they are doing well.
It gets plenty of flow, that is definitely not the issue.
I have now moved onto the sand bed in the hope it was getting too much light.
35ppt
Alk 7.7-8
Calcium 465
Mag 1280
Nitrate 10
Phosphate 0.15
It is definitely not starving. I am feeding Reefroids twice a week and Reef Energy A+B twice a week.
