I have an sps frag (green slimer) that was yellowish when I bought it but 2-3 days after I introduced to the tank, it turned kind of white..... or maybe a really light yellow..... The polyps do come out and they are green.......

Does it still have a chance?

Its inside a 10g under 18 CREE LEDS (9 white and 9 RB)....

water parameters:

• Nitrates - 0
• Calcium - 480ppm
• Alk - 8 dkh
• PH - 8.0

if its extending it still has a chance i would think. I'm not a huge sps guru or nothing but if its extending i think its happy and good water light and time is needed. It sounds like it was sick to start out.

The guys from the LFS (MR Coral) told me that It faded a little bit but it is a green slimer frag.... I also bought a monti and its doing fine.

well, either it will color up (which happens often--especially if it was in poor light then introduced to high light--drop it down a little bit in the tank), or it will eventually bleach all the way out and die--but time will tell with either.

hope things go well for it

Sounds like it bleached from too much light. Those LEDs are pretty powerful. It definitely has a chance, lower it down, keep it in good flow and keep params steady.

Thanks

At first I thought that LED'S where not that powerful so I turned the intensity all the way up (they can be dimmed). I will lower the intensity to see how it does....

I think I have pretty good flow in my tank. Currently I have 2 Koralia Nano's and the sump return / drain...

I'd try some coral amino's. I use Brightwells Coral Amino's and I always pickup bleached out corals from local reefers. Everyone of them have colored up and are looking awesome.

A green slimer should never look yellowish, unless it was already starting to bleach. I would try taking it back to mr coral and complain that they sold you a bleached slimer.

well the color is in the eye of the beholder, only a reefer could say that a brown digi is german blue.

18 leds on a ten gal sounds like a ton. id say turn your lights way down

it was almost free, I am not gonna complain..
