will my torch get its color back?
 

I added a torch coral about a month ago and due to my stupidity and a faulty hydrometer it suffered for a few weeks. It now looks great except that it lost a lot of color. It was a solid flourescent green variety that now is mostly a washed out pinkish brown. Will it regain its color under PC lighting? Anything I can do to help?

My torch started very bleached with just slightly green mouths and now it looks like this:

That torch is insanely big!!!

thanks. It is stupid big right now. It is 6 heads and atleast 2 are splitting again. it stings a lot of other corals though like rics, shrooms, zoas and only sometimes the xenia, but they melt when stung!

What size is your tank? How much PC lighting? Have you gotten a refractometer yet? It is a inexspensive tool you will always need.

I have seen them color back up. My guess is under PC light this will take some time and it will probably be a little lighter than when you started.
