Hey folks,
After some recent fragging and spreading around of some of the frags, a question arrose...
Fragged my nice beige/red lords, moved some to the sump, some to my 10g and the main colony stayed in the 65. 10g frags shifted color to a gorgeous green/purple; the frags in the sump, turned a putrid brown, and the mother colony stayed the same. I've noticed this corals trait for radical color shifts before; so it wasn't overly surprising.
The question is - I'm going to make a bunch of these frags available, what would the consensus be on forwarning people of this color-shifting trait? Is it enough to simply show some of the variance, with a note that its color is very dependant on lighting?
I know this 'trait' is relatively common in SPS etc - but more often than not the colors stay roughly the same, the shifts on this lord I find to be quite radical, and I know I'd be ****ed if I bought a beautiful green/purple lord which promptly turned brown on me
What do you guys think?
