Hey,,
Picked up a frag of this acro yesterday. I observed that it was a nice light green shimmer the 1st time I saw it. Yesterday at highlight, it was brown. I did buy it, but not sure where to place it. I acclimated it to temp and dripped for an hour. Placed the frag plug in the sand about 650mm from T5's. Also have led's and light the 450nm blue diodes only. Then at 14:30, the other led colours switch on for 2 hours. Red(600nm), green(510nm), coolwhite(10000k) and many more blues.
I noticed today, that my other acro frag(dont know scientific name but it'd dark green and brown) changed from no green to showing some green and the polyps are kinda peeping out their coralites. But the suharsonoi is turning lighter brown, on the tips. The base is still brown, so I moved it to indirect light area on the sand bed.
Checked my No4, Po4 and both not detectable on my salifert test.
I'm running np pellets in reactor + rowaphos in fluidised reactor + a bag of seagel. Cheato in refugium too... hehehe maybe too much but works for my tank.
Is there anything I should do to make sure the acro suharsonoi is going to be okay? Is it bleaching?
