I have a frag of Purple People Eater Palythoa with about eights polyps that are opening and alive, but have no color whatsoever. They are completely clear/white. Below is as much of the info has I have.
1. Type & how long you have had it: Six months and see above
2. Current lighting & Bulb Age: CoralLife t5 bulbs(2) One blue and One white on about 8 hours per day
3. Nitrate: 20-40ppm
4. Calcium: not sure
5. Phosphate: not sure
6. Alkalinity: 180
7. pH: 7.8
8. Salinity: not sure
9. Temperature: 76.0
10. Liquid or strip test kits: strips
11. Location in tank: Was at top third, moved it to lower third tonight
12. Current amount of flow: Hve power head but unsure on flow
13. Current tank dosing regimen: Add Amquel Plus with water changes, also add Kent microvert every three days. Water change every 7 days
14. Nearby coral: N/A
15. Explanation of problem: As seen above, coral has no color at all, but opens and closes and is alive.
I am fairly new to this, so I am working on gaining experise, so any advice you can provide would be great. I have a frog spawn I purchased about four weeks ago, and it seems to be thriving. Tank also has four fish, two clowns, a blue tang and a black and white damsel. Hope this is enough info.
Thanks
