Anyone seen this? (1 Viewer)

About half a year ago I purchased a green stylo off marsh. If you notice in the picture below it isn't really green... It is purple with green tips (picture makes it look brownish). When I purchased it, it was 100% green. I tried to find others like it online but can't. I know it is very typical for corals to change colors when I put them in my tank, but was just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar to this.

If not bleaching, maybe you have high phosphate, or alk.

Hmm.... I don't think it is bleaching since it has been that way since i got it. Alk is ~8, and I did have a problem with phosphates and GHA a few months back. I seem to have gotten that under control once I started running Phosban.

If green acros don't look green, it may be lack of iron. dose a tiny bit of iron biweekly would help.
