did it lose color for you or was that the color when you bought it??

what lighting did it come from and where did it come from, is it wild??

if your parameters are spot on and all your other sps is doing great then id either play around with its position giving enough time in betweeen moves to judge its behavior or leave it and see where a year takes it

if you believe its bleaching then id move it

I will move it up. Just limited on space. It's lost color. Come from lfs under a sol. And no not wild.

The colors were way more awesomest

sps is like that though , what looks great in one tank looks or changes for a different tank. give it some time to get adjusted but if it doesnt color up after time try moving it , i know they lose color alot faster then they gain it back lol

disclaimer*****__ i know squat on sps and rely only on luck lol
