Received this frag from a friend last Tuesday. He had it at the bottom of a 100gallon reef with 250w Halides. I have it at the bottom of my 40BR under 170w of LED.

Day 1


Day 4


Day 7


Notice some have darkened in color and others have dark spots. The strange part is they are not recoiling from the light but just darkening. I moved them tonight under a overhang to shield them somewhat from the intensity.

To me, it looks like those are browning out due to either not enough light or the wrong spectrum of light.
