Keeping the yellow color

[jstuver]

I bought these florida ricordea and the guy I got them from had kept them on his sand with a taotronics LED that he runs the blues at 100% and the whites at 20% I do believe his tank is a 75g. I got them home and a week later they are turning an orange color (from the beautiful yellow that they were) with my ATI T5 I have the 8 bulb dimmable over my cadlights versa 42. I run the channel that has my 2 blue plus bulbs I do believe at it's peak hits 55% and the one that has 3 blue plus 2 purple plus and 1 aquablue special at 46% at it's peak.

So my question would be are they getting too much light and turning orange or too little?

 

Sorry the pics suck but here is when I got them:

WOW that yellow is awesome...Personally my rics have gone through some drastic changes in color too...and I don't think theres much we can do. They look really healthly and I THINK when they get too much light they shrink and die...so I'd say the change in lighting would cause it turn orange..but they look healthy and in the end a healthy coral=happy reefer.

Yeah I am happy that they are happy but man that yellow was gorgeous and the reason I bought them. I also bought a lobo that had a lot of yellow tone to it as well and it has now turned orange. Hopefully they get some yellow back once settled in. At least they are still nice looking:)
