Mine actually just spent a few months on the pale side too. I had it pretty high up in the tank and my lights were cranked up pretty high. Once i decreased my whites it started coloring up again. It has always had good PE though regardless of the color. I have been dosing acropower and am starting to have algae issues. Im gonna stop using it today.

Red planet not looking the best

Alright well maybe I'll just leave it where it is and see what happens. It still has PE but its very small. It also looks like it may be encrusting back over the spots that receded.
But why would that be the ONLY piece in the tank to be affected? I have other SPS that's growing.
i normally used to see base recession when calcium or a magnesium level went out of wack- it happened back when i had my 75 which i then changed out all the water cause i bought a new tank and everything was put back in place with stable water and the coral regrew right over the algea- took some time though. Also what fish do you have? With leds i noticed any swing in parameters takes a stronger toll on corals especially po4 and nitrates but im assumiong since algea grew that your not deficient in p04.
I have a couple triggers, 1 tang, Anthias, chromis, clownfish, a few wrasses and a couple gobies.
My green clown goby does swim and perch between my SPS pieces a lot which I've read that's what they do but I don't think this is the case.

i have a red scooter blenny that loves to sit on my corals especially my lps which havent fluffed up but after removing my flameback anglefish everything looks better- scooter still perches on them though. maybey get the coral alittle bit more flow- normally its a deadspot in the coral where detritus will sit and cause havoc
Yeah that may be the case too. I'll see if I can either move it or redirect a powerhead without blowing up some sand
try to see if you can alter the powerhead first- moving it would be second. if its been int hat spot forawhile its used to it. I have two frags of red planet one of them looks like a navy green millie while the other is clear green with a red tint and you can see through it- same spot in the tank - who would have though.
That's odd. Okay I'll try and move a powerhead
Omg I know! I hate it
Yeah I'm trying to transfer over to the vortechs now. Have 2 wp40s and 1 mp10 and I love the mp10
Well how about that
Leave it up to u to get that out of everything I said! Lol
Not saying its the actual powerhead brand but maybe its just not getting enough flow so I'll have to reposition it
I wasn't saying it was the powerheads, I just like messing with dan lol
Lol thanks Dan, I hope so man, I gotta come over and see how your tanks doing one of these days
