Steve Wright's SPS takeover

Hey Steve, is the first picture with the blue led on as well?

 

Hi kss2801

1st picture on which post?
I leave it on for all the time the T5s are on, so any FTS shots taken over last 4 days have it on

This one


I was trying to figure out if the color change was instantaneous because of the light color or a progression because of the coral actually changing color.

 

Hi kss2801

that image was taken prior to installing the Blue LED
its still nice blue but the tips are much brighter now and the body is starting to show blue colour also

Steve

 

The coral is actually changing color then and in such a short time. That's really cool. K+

 

Very nice Steve! Thanks for the update.

 

they are and I have other images coming up that shows coral changing color due to corals surrounding them - swapping of Zooxanthellia I believe

welcome Nismo, thank you

Steve

 

M Confusa- as it looked when purchased Oct/ Nov 2010 - thank you Corailline.



as it looks today
there is at least 1cm of growth around large percentage of the coral

 

acro when I got it November 2010 - thanks again Corailline.

very plain dull white/ cream color



same acro 1 month later - colored up green


same acro today




as you can hopefully see, the green is being gradually phased out by blue

 

WOWWWWW - a little "learn by osmosis" those cells are performing huh?
Never knew of this physiology in corals!!!

Thanks as always for sharing Steve!!!
