    Ok, so I've read a bit on coral browning, bleaching, etc, and as such, i have seen people hoping the colors comeback to their colonies with lighting changes, or phosphate removal. I for one know i've had a problem with phosphate for the majority of my tanks life, though i haven't seen a problem with polyp propigation. My tank explodes most of my easy to care for polyps. My question however is, when people start taking better care of the little things, who here has seen a turn around of color in their critters. I started off with light blue centered zoas with pink/red tenticles, and now have brownish zoas with spots of blue and redish mostly brown tenticles. Is this really ever going to change? Can I try some feeding supliments or dosing to enhance color from any of your expiriences? Anyway, thanks for your time, I couldn't find exactly the perspectives i wanted from forum searches!
