Yeah, the mid morning sunlight has a lot of yellow and red spectrum in it which some corals don't like. I haven't been able to keep any blue anchor anywhere, internal reflection seems to give it too much yellow/red light everywhere I've tried it, and frogspwn only does well where it only gets reflected sunlight. The purple stylo on the other hand seems to love it. It does make the red corals stand out better though.

Fish do get fed a bit.
