Welp - it's been over 2 weeks since I added the green candy cane to my tank. Since then it's lost so much of it's green fluorecence. The polyps are extending at night, so I'm assuming it's healthy, but - it's ugly!! ;0

Does it need more light, less light?

Thanks

Hi what kind of lighting you have it under/flow,i moved mine higher up in my rockwork,it lost colour also,i guess at that point the correct thing to have done was to move it but i didnt and it has gotten back the colour,figured it needed some time to adjust. :D

It hasn't gotten color back. Do you have any pictures of yours. So I can get an idea as to placement.

I have 432 watts of t5. The frag glows green under all actinic lighting, but when all of my lights are on it appears pretty brown. At the lfs it was bright metallic green even under PC's. I could understand if their tank had only actinics, but there was a mixed spectrum.
