![]() Wondering if any one has any advice here. I purchased a Purple Death frag about 2-3 months ago. They are growing well and I occasionally feed them pellets. Only one problem... they are brown. Currently in a low flow area with medium to low lighting half way down my tank.
Did I just get ripped off with some brown palys or is this normal?

![]() My iPhone camera actually makes them look more purple than they are haha. Dam it iPhone you see better than I do!
![]() I think taking this picture confirms they are Purple Deaths. Any advise on getting them to color up or just be patient?

![]() I also recently purchased some locally. I put mine in medium to high light. They seem to be doing well. I'm not amazed by the colour though, but that's probably because of my lack of lighting spectrum...

![]() 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 Quote:

quite possible i had around 10 different kinds that looked like that , the worst thing about them is they are hard to get a solid photograph of because of the pink mixed with purple , i used up all my resources trying to find pink dalmations as they use to be my favorite for people eaters and i bought so many look alikes and every time i was like " yes..finally" lol
