I put a frag of this montipora in my tank a week ago, and since then the color has largely washed out. However, the polyps continue to be extended and colored up. Is this likely due to a lighting shock, or a water parameter issue? Or something else, such as flow?
Tank parameters:
Salinity: 1.026
Alk: 8.4
Nitrate: 6.9
Phosphate: 0.03
Calcium: 445
Mag: 1330
I don't have a great picture, but snapped this one on my phone in case it's helpful.
Hoping to get things figured out and introduce some acros soon, so using this as somewhat of an indicator coral.
