encideought December 7, 2010 Share December 7, 2010 Just wondering if my purple death polyps (bought from atlantic sea farms) are typical or wierd. The new ones are a nice deep purple, but as they get older they seem to change to more of a gold color. You can see the youngest ones on the bottom are purple, and the older ones on top look...less purple. Maybe it's my lights (55-watt PC)? Has anyone else seen this? no flash: with flash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind December 7, 2010 Share December 7, 2010 I have the same issue and for mine it seems to be from them getting to much light. I moved them to a shaded area and the color slowly came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Reefs December 7, 2010 Share December 7, 2010 Yeah they will brown out if they are getting too much light. Usually really low but direct light they should color up, depends on what kind of lights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encideought December 7, 2010 Author Share December 7, 2010 Wow, I guess they're just really sensitive to light levels as my lights are pretty weak. Cool, good to know, thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
