hmm... just a guess.
I thought I read somewhere that coral pigments have a lot to do with iodide. Also, coral pigments are functional to protect corals from UV rays. So maybe it's just acclimated to its new environment? Perhaps your lights aren't bright or are in need of bulb change? Just wild guesses. Last edited by Reef_Geek; 01-03-2013 at 01:13 AM.

Ive never tested for iodine and I just got new LEDS in August, the coral looks nice and has nice color under the royal blues only but during the day it is very pale in colors.

I had T5's and I had a tank crash and The brain coral started to lose its color, but I think maybe the coral is coming back not sure. My LED's are Cree XP-E white and royal blues DIY from Modular LED and I love them!!!!!!

How long ago did you switch to LED and did it start losi g colour after that? What caused the tank crash? Did it start losing colour after that? Do you feed it?

All web searching point to lighting and trace element supplements. If you do regular water changes, most trace elements are in good salt mixes. I would think that with supplements/water changes in combination with a good light since August, you should have noticed some results.
Maybe others have ideas or experience specific to this coral? I've had some bleaching with sps and acans, but that's due to my own dumb*** fault at putting them too close to a bright light, too soon upon introduction. Bleaching is obviously not what we're dealing with here.
