They are lords and my lighting consists of 425 watts of 14k hallides and 440 watts of VHO.There are 2 6500 bulbs and 2 actinic bulbs.

I love it! It is one of the best things in the hobby imo. Sometimes all it takes is a little patience. I have had some corals completely change in less than 2 months.

Yah they change on me too. Most of the time I don't like it. I bought it because I liked the colors it had when I got it. But there are a couple that changed for the better. :)

Jarrod those morphed into one SWEET colony. I love 'em!! Very sweet. That is one of the greatest parts of this hobby. Sometimes you can get things to change color just by changing the "altitude" a few inches. Amazing and beautiful creatures!

I think the new morph is 1000x better than the old!

Sorry I read the first sentence and mistakenly posted photos of color morphing w/ lps :)

I posted a similar thread months ago and got very little, if any, response.

I am always expecting changes in corals when I get them. I think Acans will change as they grow up, I notice baby polyps always look different then when they grow up colors develop in the more mature polyps that are not in the baby polyps. I notice that most all corals change once they hit my water...some take months to color up to the final color, some weeks. I move stuff around sometimes to see if I can get the color I am really wanting.
