Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / January 2007Corals,Color,Light...........
I have a rock with button polyps. When I bought the rock , 2 polyps were bright neon green---the rest kind of a dull brownish green. One of the more drab polyps is now morphing. It`s about half dull and half bright neon. How does this happen? Can you alter the color of corals by placement vis-a-vis light? thanks again stringer I think the true colors are more prone to coming out once they have proper lighting. I bought a bunch of shrooms and zoos from the bargain basement tank at the lfs here for 1 or 2 bucks a critter.. The zoos and shrooms were just dull dark muddy brown in color......but that was ok, as I was looking for "ground" cover and to try an experiment with corals ina tank with a fresh water puffer I re-acclimized to saltwater. I just wanted to see if I could keep any soft type corals in the tank with this puffer......I did not have the puffers tank setup yet, so I just tossed them into another tank.Yu canimagine how pleased and happy I was when in about 2 days those muddy brown shrroms were Birck red and also other neat colors.not a darn muddy brown shroom in the bunch. Same for the zoo's....they started to change to oranages and even some boues here and there......as well as greens......Needless to say I went back anbd bought a big heap of more shrooms and zoos, and they are all doing great under proper light, totaly different in color that what they were in the LFS...... I can see a coral getting duller or brigher or perhaps goping to a dull brown if it lacks formproper lights, but other than the brown color I just believe they are not capable of say, going from a Orange or Green color to a blue etc......I say they can go from their "true" color down to a brown, but not to another spectrum.......and the brown is only due to stress and lack of sufficiein tlight to enable it to show its true colors. Too much light on the hothe rhand can bleach a vibrant color to a lighter shade or even white....... <<>>I have a rock with button polyps.

Oh, not much color other than Ghetto SSI crazy check mister Roy "TRistan" Hauer" aka Roy ~ Roy aka ~ ROY~ just sh.t on lots of folks in rec.ponds and aquaria groups and drug dirty laundry in here and refused to leave so all those he crapped on just followed him to this place and stayed.....Guess thats what happens when you allow a secition 8 type person schizo move into the neighbor hood, it does not take long for the hood to come down to that section 8's level, with all the companay he drags here it amounts to a Ghetto the way he has this and other groups trashed. Typical section eight behavior from a someone on SSI crazy checks....... >I think the true colors are more prone to coming out once they have > proper lighting. I bought a bunch of shrooms and zoos from the bargain BUTCH SLAP! More ravings of a madman against elderly woman........ what as a.s!!!!!!!!
