    so i was wondering have any of your acans lightened in color due to bulb changing? when i got my blood diamond he was spearmint green on the outside and now its like a dull green now he eats everyday at the least every 2 days any ideas why its getting a little dull?

    Could be a little too much light from the bulb change. Acans are sensitive that way.

    For sure, huge difference. I'd watch out for bleaching LPS.

    so i moved things around and when the heads closed i noticed the middle inbetween the polyps is turning dark purple it looks awesome but do these things color morph or will it always stay the same formation
