Tricolor whitening?

Acameron2 · Apr 10, 2016

Any body have a clue what this looks like?
Recently changed my lighting, and added live rock to the tank. Checked my parameters and things are good as they have been before the changes I made. Any input would be appreciated thanks.

Flow and lighting affects them the most. I've had that happen to me where an area bleaches.

Changed out my maxspect nano to a hydra 52. Started seeing a small patch of white with my nano light so I figured it was shadowing it's self out but idk. Just hope its not some sort of pest or disease

A T5 supplement would help

That's a nice acro by the way. What colors is it?

Sorry all I have is my phone for pics. But this was my tri color in its prime in my opinion.

It's like as soon as I switched my tank from being a frag tank to a barebottom with live rock everything has went down hill. Oh and switching the LED lights out. I even have my current light at the moment dialed down.

I've had new live rock start a small cycle in the tank before. Took a couple months to get back to normal.
Beautiful acro!

Thanks it's one of my first attempts at acros and was being pretty successful with it until now.
Yea only time will tell I guess. Just as long as it's not a pest of some sort.
