I accidentally broke a few branches off of my Digis while cleaning, and I noticed that for those branches that started growing more horizontal, the underside of the branches are brown. Same goes for my green/purple rim cap...it's starting to develop whirls, but since the whirls overlap and are shadowing the whirls underneath it, the polyps are not as green as the rest of the colony. You only see the brown side of the SPS if you kneel in front of the tank and stare at it in certain angles...which I do daily I repositioned the digi and the brown side is now colored up, but I assume the reverse side is browning out..
So how to get more even coloration? I don't think increasing my lighting will help, since even if I went 400watt MH, the shaded branches will still be shaded. I figure it's something to do with my water chemistry?
On a side note, my blue tort and tyree birdsnest grows very upright, so their coloring is very even. Digis don't grow as vertically in my experience.
