Orange monti plate turned pink

steallife904 · 08/21/2018, 10:00 AM

Got a nice piece of orange monti plate about a month ago. It slowly turned pink in my tank. It isn't RTNing or anything and appears to be growing but just went from orange to pink. Could it be not enough light? or to much? or what else would normally cause the color shift? Alk is 8, calc 430. Not really and phosphate or nitrates.

I recently got reef roids to feed my LPS, should I drop a bit ontop of the plate? Will it benefit at all?

thank you,

sps color can change a lot depending on the type of light it gets.....

I just got a piece of orange monti and after some reading if it turns pink then too much light or so it says.
