color shift boobies

I had a nice pink boobie that is now shifting to orangeish. It has been under LED for a year, off to the side, mid tank, 250 par range. So, more light, less light or?

Less light gets mine more red, higher light gets the pinkish color you usually see in Pink Boobies. At least for myself this is the case.

I've read a few posts about this. Seems like an LED (and therefore wavemength) issue, not PAR.
