Color on Monti Cap icolor washing out....

[jgoldsney]

I have a fairly large orange monti cap that has gone very pale in color, It used to be a deep orange in my other tank but it now has faded to almost a light pink.

The only major difference in the tanks is that my old one had 250W 10K HQI bulbs and the new tank has 400W 14K SE. I had to have it out of the water for about 10 minutes a couple of weeks ago while I re-attached it to its base. The coloration seemed to realy deteriorate after this.

I am currently dosing with Seachem Calcium....can't remember what kind exactly and have just started with reef solutuion for trace elements..

Any ideas on what could be causing this.
