Condy anonome turning brown

Its turning brown after months. All parameters are ok, good kits, skimmer working... No changes but the tips are turning brown.

Any suggestions.

 

Condy coloration is variable. Sounds as though the zooxanthellae have just shifted colors in response to the lighting provided. I would be more concerned with a loss of color.

 

your condy should be a greyish tan color..but should have hot purple tips..some of them have pink tips...but if it was white when you got it then yea its just getting healthier...post a pic so we can be sure if you can..

heres my old condy for reference, it was as healthy as could be under a 250 halide..

 

Thanks... Makes me feel better. Will try to post a pic tomorrow. How/what does yours eat?

 

Yes! That just means it is healthy! Here is mine..... and my clown protecting it! haha. Lets just say he has a very bold personality!!! You can kinda see the change here. I need a better camera for the brown color to show. ;D

 

i just got rid on mine for an lta..but i just fed it frozen peeled shrimp..also i would give it a whole oyster when i bought them to cook for dinner at the fish market..

but any shrimp, white fish (any seafood), salmon chunks, mysis, krill, brine..

some people feed silversides but i dont since alot of people have been having nems die from them, from the bones and stuff..there is no 100%research, but people with the nems that were silversides eventually died, and the ones that werent fed with them are still alive..google silversides being fed to nems..you will see a bunch of forums with the info about it..

 

i feed mine krill. never tried silversides.

 

Just means some extra zooxanthellae is growing. Probably driven by a a bit of nitrate in the system, but I wouldn't worry, much better than being bleached.

 

It is actually it is regaining its internal algae. Not driven by nitrates.

 

Zooxanthellae growth is ALWAYS driven in a large part by nitrates and brownness is typically almost directly correlated with nitrates. You absolutely, 100% can not have Zooxanthellae growth without nitrate, they can't fix N2.... I can't tell whether is was bleached or not, because there is not white-balanced calibrated photo, so, it was safer to cover the bases and mention nitrates
