Fading ...

So assuming all water parameters are in the "norm", is too much or not enough light the culprit, or just "different" light from what the coral was used to?

what kind of coral is it?

It could be any of the above. Did you recently change lamps/photoperiod/ spectrum? I'd also check to make sure there are no AEFW's.

trachy brain no changes to lamps....

hmm. I'd suspect nutirent deficiency of some kind. I've had success with oddly failing LPS by adding some iodine daily for a few weeks. Might be worth a try.

it's opening the same, just the color fading.... I'll give it a shot.

Check your mag levels, it happened to mine. Whent from bright red to a pinkish, my mag was at 1100 and he was getting a little to much light.

I since moved it lower down on the rock and raised to levels and the color is starting to pop once again
