Purple Death Palys

[daniella3d]

My pink and gold paly need a lot of light to be really colorful. If they are at the bottom of the tank they are just plain brown, but when I put them right under the metal halide they take a very beautiful gold center with pink skirt.

Palythoas need a lot of light in general.

brown = not enough light

Did I just get ripped off with some brown palys or is this normal?
